The Single Honours programme offers the opportunity to study an exciting range of films from different periods and international contexts; you’ll watch films from African, American, European, East Asian and other World cinemas. You’ll gain a deep and wide ranging knowledge of film as a cultural, social, industrial and global phenomenon and familiarity with different conceptual and theoretical approaches to film. The range of films studied will equip you to understand the complex histories of the medium as well as how important issues of cultural difference are raised through cinema, giving you the tools and vocabulary to take a questioning attitude to your own culture. This range is a particular strength of the programme. We encourage you to make the most of the facilities available to broaden and enhance your study of film, not just on campus but also through the lively film culture (festivals, art-house cinema, media facilities) in the city itself.

As you progress through your degree you will be able to follow your own interests by choosing from the variety of topics on offer, culminating in your own research project, a dissertation, in your final year.
