The Film Studies Programme is aimed at students who wish to deepen and refine their engagement with the film, television, internet, and other popular media that saturates their environment; from which they get information, transact business, conduct relationships, and spend leisure time. Our mission is to produce graduates capable of fulfilling their highest potential as critical and creative citizens, and to equip our students with the knowledge, skills, resources and inspiration useful for a range of professions and beneficial for life. We educate students in the history of media and cultural production, in current theoretical methods and approaches, and in a wide range of generic, historical and national media. We promote our core values – independence, collaboration, critical reflection, cultural engagement, and social and political consciousness – through innovative teaching, learning and assessment methods. The lecture, seminar, workshop and small group work are at the core of our teaching. In supportive learning environments students and staff come together in the spirit of mutual inquiry, contemplation, discussion and debate. Work is assessed by a variety of methods including exams, essays, reading and screening responses, presentations, individual and group projects. Together these modes of assessment foster the development of a range of important skills and qualities. Our students are educated for life and hope that the experience of studying Film, within the School of English, Drama and Film, will help our students learn who they are, search for a larger purpose for their lives, and leave college better people. The challenges, experiences and opportunities provided in this educational environment prepare students for a variety of different workplaces.
