A year abroad will enhance your understanding of visual arts and let you experience a new culture. You'll study familiar classics alongside contemporary cinema, and genres including- film noir, horror, science fiction, documentary, animation.
Your history modules will cover the development of historical debates, imagining the past, and topics ranging from ancient societies to the war on terror. Our Framing the Past module looks at cinema's relationship with history.
