Film Studies Summer School FAQs

What is an Film Studies Programme and why is it important to study?

Immerse™ Film Studies programmes provide participants with an immersive study of cinematic techniques, film history, and visual storytelling. Covering a wide range of film genres, from classic to avant-garde cinema.

Film is a powerful medium that shapes culture, perspectives, and artistic expression. From analysing cinematic techniques to understanding cultural influences, film studies deepen our appreciation for visual storytelling. By studying Film Studies, you’ll contribute to interpreting cinematic narratives and exploring the art of filmmaking.

Film studies graduates can pursue a diverse range of career prospects within and beyond the film industry, including roles as film directors, producers, screenwriters, film critics, and educators. Their deep understanding of film theory, history, and criticism equips them for positions in film distribution, marketing, and public relations, as well as opportunities in digital media, television production, and archival work.

The analytical, research, and communication skills acquired during their studies prepare them for careers in journalism, advertising, and cultural arts management, highlighting the versatility and breadth of opportunities available.

Film Studies programmes area available in Oxford, as well as online. 

To take part in an Immerse Education course, prior knowledge of the subject isn’t necessary. The main thing you need is enthusiasm for learning. You will also receive some reading material before the course begins, helping you prepare and feel confident as you start your educational journey.

In the Film Studies course, participants should expect to explore a wide range of topics, from the historical development of cinema and theoretical approaches to analysing films to the practical elements of filmmaking such as cinematography, editing, and sound design. The curriculum may also cover screenwriting, production design, film criticism, and the study of global cinema, providing insights into different cultural filmmaking styles. Discussions on contemporary issues in cinema, including digital media’s impact and industry trends, ensure participants receive a comprehensive and current understanding of film studies, blending both theoretical knowledge and practical insights into the art and industry of filmmaking.

Participants with a passion for cinema and an interest in exploring its artistic, cultural, and technical aspects are well-suited for a Film Studies course. Analytical skills, creativity, effective communication abilities, and an openness to diverse perspectives enhance their learning experience. Importantly, no prior knowledge of film is needed, just an enthusiasm for the subject.

Immerse Education integrates Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) to support ESL students. This approach combines academic content with language development, ensuring that students improve their English proficiency while engaging with subject-specific material. Our experienced tutors use a variety of techniques to enhance understanding and language acquisition. Additionally, they provide personalised feedback and support to help students master subject-specific terminology.
