General description

The minor in Film Studies develops in more depth the basic film aesthetics skills acquired at Bachelor’s level and students’ knowledge of the history and theory of film. It equips them to critically engage with current and historical developments in film and the cinema and place them in a cultural and media context. The program encourages students to reflect methodologically and work on their own questions and topics. Parallel to this there are more practice-oriented offerings designed to give an insight into aspects of the culture and politics of film. In combination with a major from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the minor in Film Sciences helps students develop the technical skills to analyze visual and acoustic phenomena within the framework of their studies in other areas of culture and the arts.
