Overview

Film Studies utilises many of the critical skills developed through the study of English Literature and allows students to express these through a visual medium.

Details

Students are introduced to a wide variety of films originating from diverse cultures and communities, with the aim of both enhancing their critical appreciation of such art forms as well as honing their ability to critically analyse texts.

How will it be delivered?

Assessment: 70% written exam, 30% coursework.

The two-year course is divided into three components:

Component 1

• American Film since 2005
