Languages, Cultures and Film Studies BA

Learn about various critical, historical, and theoretical approaches to film whilst gaining fluency in your chosen language. At Leeds you can combine the study of film with one of the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Thai.

Our focus on world cinemas means you’ll engage with ‘art’ and popular cinemas from a wide range of cultures and societies. You’ll develop specialised knowledge in the ways film uses style and narrative to create meaning, intervenes in national and global debates, and even shapes our perception of the world around us. You’ll explore the history and theory of cinema, alongside issues of genre and the impact of digital technologies on this rapidly changing art form.

During your year abroad you’ll gain international experience whilst further developing your linguistic ability. Then in your final year you’ll develop an extended project in which you can draw on what you have learnt and showcase your skills.
