Learning and support

Your learning experience

Blended learning

Find out more about blended learning in Film Studies at The University of Manchester.

We've worked hard to ensure our students have a rich learning experience despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.

Most lectures are currently being held digitally, often delivered through a Spark page and video content with interactive elements, giving you an opportunity to respond and upload related clips, sounds and images. In many ways, this format allows us to share more film examples than in a traditional lecture.

Each lecture is followed by a seminar in which you will break out into smaller groups to discuss the topics covered in the lecture. Where possible, these seminars will take place face-to-face in socially distanced arrangements (with masks). If that is not possible, these seminars will take place digitally also.

In addition to the general safety principles being implemented, we have partnered with the British Film Institute to be able to provide our students with a free subscription to the BFI Player, providing Film Studies students with access to a rich collection of classic and cult films.

Every student is assigned an Academic Advisor with whom they are guaranteed 1-2-1 meetings, while students are also able to request a meeting with their Advisor throughout the year. In addition to this, all Film Studies lecturers have weekly office hours in which to meet with their students.

We hold events throughout the year where you can hear from industry practitioners and former students, in addition to a weekly event that reads through students’ scripts and provides collaborative, constructive feedback.

We also have a staff/student liaison committee where students can raise concerns or contribute to local policy decisions.
