BA Film and Modern Languages at University of Bristol

Programme overview

This exciting joint honours degree enables you to combine the study of Film and Television with a language (French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish) and its related cultures. Based in the Department of Film and Television and the School of Modern Languages respectively, the two sides of this degree are a perfect complement to each other. Ours is an increasingly globalised world, where multilingualism and intercultural understanding have never been more important.

What you will study

The degree lasts four years, with years 1, 2 and 4 spent in Bristol. Year 3 is spent working or studying abroad in a country where your chosen language is spoken, refining your language skills and cultural knowledge and gaining valuable work experience. In each of Years 1, 2 and 4, you take a combination of units from the School of Modern Languages and the Department of Film and Television.
