The study of film, in all its forms, holds a prominent place in our critical understanding of the modern world.

Moving images have always been new and exciting, and Film Studies allows students to study a diverse range of films in order to consider how they reflect the time and place of construction.

Film Studies students can progress to a wide range of career opportunities. These range from those that specifically relate to film – whether in academia, creative industries, film festival/ cinema programming or arts administration – to other spheres, such as publishing, journalism, public relations and education.

You will develop an appreciation of a wide range of films from various eras and places of origin and build skills of analysis and understanding to explore how meaning is created. You will understand how context shapes the production of the films and their reception.
