Film studies helps students develop their analytical and critical evaluation skills. They learn about film history, industry, and how films are constructed. They also study a variety of films from different genres and styles. 

Film is an important part of many people's lives. Those who choose to study it characteristically bring with them a huge enthusiasm and excitement for film, which constantly motivates them in their studies. They experience a powerful medium which inspires a range of responses, from the emotional to the reflective, as they are drawn into characters, their narratives and the issues films raise. The root of that power is the immersive audio-visual experience film offers – one which can exploit striking cinematography, composition and locations as well as powerful music and sound. It is not surprising that many consider film to be the major art form of the last hundred years and that many feel it important to study a medium which has such a significant influence on the way people think and feel.
