Overview

Film Studies Research at University of Worcester has grown significantly in recent years.

Features

We aim to produce research that is distinctive, socially and culturally relevant, and that influences national agendas.

We continually strive to develop new areas of research excellence while, in certain areas, our work has already been acknowledged as world-leading.

Programme Structure

Curriculum

In your third and fourth year, you will be writing up your thesis and preparing for your viva voce examination.

This is an oral exam with two examiners and a chair. You can also request that your supervisor be present at the exam.

The exam will take place after you have submitted your final thesis.

After the exam, it is not unusual for the examiners to ask that some amendments be made to your thesis before the final award is confirmed and you will have additional time to do this.

It is possible to complete the course in three years, but we have found that the majority of students do take four years to complete the course.
