Welcome to Film Studies at Hull

Film Studies has been taught at the University of Hull since the 1970s.  In our well-resourced department, you will have the opportunity to study film from a variety of perspectives: critical, historical, theoretical and practical.  You can choose to follow a single honours Film Studies degree programme, or combine Film Studies with another discipline in one of our several joint honours programmes.

The department has particular expertise in American visual culture, including film, television and animation.  We also offer a broad range of modules that explore various British, European and East Asian film cultures.

You can complement your study of film with a range of modules that focus on television.  On each year of the programme, one studio-based module is available, which allows students to put their classroom learning into practice by planning, shooting and editing a short film using our state of the art on-campus facilities.

Our film and television screenings take place in rooms equipped with digital screen projection and blackout facilities to recreate the cinema experience.  The University’s two libraries hold an ever-expanding range of resources, including books, DVDs, journals, and e-resources.

As a Film Studies graduate, you will possess not only the advanced skills of analytical reasoning and verbal expression that employers expect to find in all university graduates, but also a high level of visual literacy, a vital asset in our contemporary, media-saturated environment.
