This course allows you to study Film jointly with a language (Chinese, French, German or Spanish) which can be studied from beginners or advanced level. You will develop written and oral skills and learn about cultural aspects related to the chosen language. Film study combines critical and creative work and practice (e.g. digital technology, scriptwriting, podcasting, computer games). This course will equip you with practical, linguistic and transferable skills - making you a multilingual and employable global citizen.

All language modules include written skills (e.g. translation and essay writing) and oral skills taught by a native speaker.

Optional modules available in Modern Languages allow you to gain insight into the cinema, literature, history, and culture of the country whose language you are studying.

Within Film Studies, you will have the opportunity to examine the discipline from a theoretical and practical perspective. This will involve learning about film theory and also film making techniques. The range of modules on offer means you will be able to develop and explore your own interests.

There are also extra-curricular activities that will both boost your subject knowledge and allow you to get to know your fellow students. These include cultural and social events organised by student-run societies in the academic departments. In addition, Pontio – Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ’s Arts and Innovation Centre – means that there will be a range of plays, films and other performances only a short walk away from where many of your classes will be taking place.
