Our students say...

Film Studies gives you a chance to grow and test your understanding; I personally enjoy the course because we cover different styles of world cinema. The course covers not only famous films, but also highlights many films not so highly acclaimed or regarded. There are many opportunities to deepen and strengthen your knowledge which helps you to focus where to specialise as you progress through the course.
