Course summary
Taking Film and Sociology at Lancaster gives you the opportunity to learn from academics at the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts and our Sociology Department.Film combines particularly well with Sociology because it examines cinema's role as a major contemporary cultural form that influences, reflects and shapes social values and beliefs. You’ll examine cinema’s aesthetic importance in the context of an increasingly visual and media-oriented culture, while investigating the connections between contemporary art, theatre, music and film.You’ll be able to select from a wide range of options in both disciplines to complement your core modules. Lancaster’s film programme is academic rather than vocational, but you will have the opportunity to make your own digital film using the University’s state-of-the-art equipment.
Study abroadThe study abroad option is an exciting opportunity for anyone who is thinking of working abroad during their career or who simply wants the experience of living and studying overseas as part of their degree.Often study abroad students describe the year abroad as a "transformative experience", as it can shape your future career path as well as having a positive impact on your personal development.
Experience and skillsYou will study in your third year at one of our international partner universities. This will help you to• develop your global outlook• expand your professional network• increase your cultural awareness• develop your personal skills
Host universitiesDuring your year abroad, you will choose specialist modules relating to your degree and potentially other modules offered by the host university that are specialisms of that university and country.  The places available at our overseas partners vary each year, but destinations have previously included Australia, USA, Canada, Europe and Asia.
Alternative optionWe will make reasonable endeavours to place students at an approved overseas partner university that offers appropriate modules. Occasionally places overseas may not be available for all students who want to study abroad or the place at the partner university may be withdrawn if core modules are unavailable. If you are not offered a place to study overseas, you will be able to transfer to the equivalent standard 3-year degree scheme and would complete your studies at Lancaster. Lancaster University cannot accept responsibility for any financial aspects of the year abroad.
