A Bachelor degree in Film Studies addresses the growing demand for graduates with new and diverse skills in the creation, curation and review of content, and a critical understanding of the role of visual media in all aspects of our lives. Film Studies is an interdisciplinary calling that began as a commitment to studying popular cinema seriously, and developing a rigorous approach towards theorizing, and advancing a critical consideration of the forms, styles and themes of World Cinema.
Today, Film Studies is a popular choice for students at all levels of higher education, with introductory curricula typically including studies in film history, film genres, national cinemas, film criticism and analysis, and film theory. Along with the theoretical, the course also offers introductory technical skills that are transferable to careers in the Entertainment and Creative Industries.
