Description

French and Film enables you to learn the language and culture of France, alongside the study of films from all genres, including French-language films. As well as studying films in class, you can join Kent's Francophone Society, which runs regular film nights.

French is one of the most beautiful romance languages. Outside of France it is spoken as far afield as Canada, the Seychelles, Madagascar and Mali. It is one of the official languages of the United Nations, and an important language in the EU.

Studying at our Canterbury campus gives you a good opportunity to immerse yourself in the language. There are many French-speaking students on campus, and our proximity to airports, the Channel ports and the Eurostar terminals at Ashford and Ebbsfleet make it quick and easy to get to Paris, Brussels and Lille.

We also offer you the opportunity to spend a year studying or working abroad in a French- speaking country, where you can immerse yourself in the language and culture and, on your return, use your improved French language skills to assist you in researching your dissertation – perhaps on French films.

Kent is one of the three major universities in the UK for film studies, and one of the most highly regarded departments in Europe. Film at Kent engages with cinema's rich scope and history, from silent classics and mainstream Hollywood to world cinema and the avant-garde. We have a thriving film culture, with 10-20 films screened on our courses each week, the Gulbenkian Cinema (the University’s arts cinema) based on campus and a lively student film society.

In 2014, the University opened a dedicated 62-seat cinema named after the pioneering female film director Ida Lupino, which students can enjoy as part of their experience during their studies. The Lupino has state-of-the-art digital projection and sound, and has been created to provide an intimate atmosphere for film viewing.

French and Film is therefore an ideal combination for those wanting to gain linguistics skills and develop cultural insights that transcend national boundaries.
