Film Studies may be studied with a Modern Language (French, German, Italian, Russian or Spanish). For details of the Film Studies component, please see the BA in Film Studies. For details of the second subject, including the language requirement and the year abroad arrangements, please refer to Modern Languages.

Year 1

The first year will introduce you to the specialised terminology used in the analysis of film and to key concepts relating to cinema and the nation. You will also study a compulsory language module and two modules on aspects of the foreign language culture.

Year 2

In the second year you’ll study one core module that explores questions of space, time and identity in film as well as one optional module in Film Studies. From your selected language you’ll study one compulsory language module and two modules on aspects of the foreign language culture other than film (which might mean history, literature, the visual arts or linguistics).

Year 3

Your third year will be spent abroad; there is a range of opportunities for work and study, including, in some of the languages, studying at a university with whom we have an exchange programme. For more details on the year abroad arrangements, please refer to Modern Languages.

Year 4

In your final year you’ll study two optional modules in Film Studies from a range that currently includes diasporic cinema, cityscapes, American independent cinema, acting and stardom and a dissertation. From your selected language you’ll study one compulsory language module and two modules on aspects of the foreign language culture other than film.
