Film Studies



UCL was the first university in the UK to establish a film studies programme. Each year, we welcome students from all over the world, who spend a year amongst a thriving, cross-disciplinary community of cinema scholars and research students. We have particular research strengths in film history, film theory, and in an exceptionally broad range of national and regional cinemas.
