Description
Hispanic Studies and Film enables you to learn the language and culture of the Spanish-speaking world, alongside the study of films from all genres, including Spanish-language films. The films of Spain have seen a resurgence in recent years, with major successes including, for example, Pans Labyrinth (2006), The Orphanage (2007) and the work of Pedro Almodóvar.
Outside Spain, Spanish is the official language of all countries in South and Central America except Brazil, and is widely spoken in many parts of North America. The programme gives you the opportunity to explore the languages and cultures of Spain and Spanish America while developing your language skills.
You have the opportunity to spend a year abroad in Spain, Uruguay or in Peru and we offer advanced language modules focusing on translation and interpreting valuable skills when looking for employment. Another peninsula language, be it Catalan or Portuguese, is optional for joint honours students. Our facilities include multimedia laboratories, which offer a variety of interactive language learning programmes and dictionaries, and access to a wide range of TV satellite channels and audio, video and computer-assisted language learning facilities.
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 Universitys 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.
Hispanic Studies and Film is therefore an ideal combination for those wanting to gain linguistics skills and develop cultural insights that transcend national boundaries.
