Film Studies at St Andrews is a dynamic and growing discipline, drawing in students with a variety of intellectual interests. The Film Studies degree resonates with the demands of today’s job market, where film and media literacy is of direct relevance to a variety of careers, from journalism and teaching to professions in the creative industries. This is not a vocational or technical course aimed at training media practioners.
The study of film critically examines the history of cinematic art across time and cultures, looking into ideological and sociological aspects, into issues of genre and style, as well as assessing the achievements of major practitioners and taking into consideration technology and economics. Film Studies involves wide-ranging analysis by examining cinema through a variety of critical, theoretical and historical approaches.
The introductory modules at sub-honours level (First and Second years) lay the foundation and provide the theoretical, cultural and methodological frameworks you will need for the more specialised and increasingly challenging modules offered at Honours level. The Honours syllabus covers subject matters reflecting the research expertise of teaching staff. Students in Film Studies develop excellent intellectual, writing and research skills and, by the end of their studies, are familiar with the most important works of cinematic art.
