Film and Philosophy BA Hons

Lancaster’s combined Film and Philosophy degree are taught jointly by academics in the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts and the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion.

 Your degree aims to provide you with the information and theoretical frameworks for understanding films as crucial cultural artifacts. You’ll have the opportunity to study cinema aesthetic importance in the context of an increasingly visual and media-oriented culture while investigating the connections between contemporary art, theatre, music, and film. Lancaster’s course is academic rather than vocational, but you will have the opportunity at each year of the program to make your own digital film using the University’s film equipment.

You’ll be able to select from a wide range of options in both disciplines to complement your compulsory modules, beginning with the core first-year modules Introduction to Film and Introduction to Philosophy.  In your second year, your courses include Global Cinema and you’ll complete a Film Dissertation in your third year.
