Course summary
This joint honours degree course combines the study of film and television with your chosen language: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish. It will suit you if you have an enquiring mind and a passion for exploring the culture of other countries and societies.
All languages can be studied from beginners' level or post-A level (or the equivalent), apart from Portuguese, which is offered from beginners' level only.
In the Department of Film and Television, guided by leading scholars and practitioners, you will explore the history, criticism and contexts of film and television. You will consider theoretical perspectives, appreciate how films are made, and engage in creative filmmaking projects.
On the language side of your degree, you will do core Language and Culture units each year in your chosen language of study (reading, writing, listening, grammar and speaking). Alongside these, you will take a range of core and optional units relating to the culture/cultures in which your language is spoken. These will focus on topics such as literature, history, film, politics, linguistics or visual art.
Both departments offer a vibrant learning environment with research-led teaching.
