Professor Michael Williams Head of Film

“My research examines cinema’s relationship with the past, including how screen stars since the silent era have drawn inspiration from a visual culture that reaches back to the idols of antiquity. By exploring these cinematic framings of history, we can further understand our relationship to the modern world, as well as the way we view the past itself.”

Daniel worked as a trainee on the major Hollywood production Batman Begins and, now working as an Editor, has been BAFTA nominated for editing TV series Humans. “My time at Southampton was invaluable in developing my critical approach to filmmaking, which I believe is vital for anyone who wants a career in the creative side of the film or TV industry. Not only did my degree from Southampton help me get onto an Editing MA at the National Film and Television School, my learning also informs many of the day-to-day creative decisions I make in the cutting room.”

YOUR COURSES

With our focus on both American and European cinemas as well as the international environment of production, distribution, exhibition and reception, you will have the opportunity to study films from a wide range of countries, languages, historical periods and perspectives.

ÒÒ Consistently ranked top ten in the UK by The Guardian University Guide ÒÒ Home to the Centre for International Film Research ÒÒ Student-run TV station SUSUtv and award-winning film-making society, Wessex Films ÒÒ Opportunity to join our summer school programme at Dongguk University, Seoul, with courses including Introduction to Korean Film and Practical Filmmaking

Film is offered as a single honours degree and as a combined honours degree with either English, History, Philosophy or Modern Languages (French, German or Spanish). Our programmes offer you the opportunity to conduct primary research in archives and libraries around the country and build a series of key skills valued by employers, including interpersonal communication, organisation and time-management abilities. Other specific skills include writing and oral presentation skills. Whether you intend to work in the media industries or other leading professions, we provide a lively and encouraging intellectual environment that encourages you to develop a

strong set of analytical and critical skills that will serve you well in today’s highly competitive environment. For those with an interest in practical filmmaking, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved in a large number of film and media societies and groups at Southampton, including Wessex Films, whose student productions are regularly entered into competitions, including our own Student Film Festival, and screened in local cinemas. Individual modules listed in this brochure may vary from year to year, but these examples demonstrate some of the different topics you might explore as part of your degree.

How will you learn? While Film Studies modules vary in content and approach, the primary teaching format we use is a lecture followed by a screening and then a seminar. Lectures are usually tutor-led classes in which the whole group learns about the broad issues or case studies to be explored in a given week from a subject specialist, which is often accompanied by clips and other visual material. Most modules also have a film screening each week that links to the particular topic or theme, and supplementary viewing can be undertaken in our well-equipped libraries. Seminars are sessions in which the set reading, film and lecture material can be discussed and explored, often with a student presentation that enables you to deliver your own ideas in a flexible way and gain feedback on your communication skills.

Studying in Seoul

Supporting you on your travels

Final year BA Film and English student Serena Messam spent a year abroad in Seoul last year.

Studying abroad through our University means you will benefit from options for financial support, in the form of free travel insurance, scholarships and fee discounts.

“I chose to do my year abroad in Seoul because I find the film industry very interesting over there. Pretty much everything that makes Korea metropolitan has been established in the past 40 years or so, but in that time they have become such a global powerhouse. I wanted to see how that manifested for everyday people, especially for students who study film and want to get into filmmaking. “One of the units we took in our first semester had us working in groups with other students from around the world, and we all had to collaborate on making two-minute films. Although it was stressful, getting a hands-on role in filmmaking was definitely a huge highlight for me, as was all the friends I made during my time over there.”

To help prepare you for the experience, we also offer a free or subsidised language course to give you a head start as you take on the world.

EMBARK ON YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE

What if you had the chance to see the world, enhance your studies and boost your career opportunities all at the same time? We can make that possible. By choosing to study abroad as part of your course, you can make your time with us even more inspiring, exciting and rewarding.

My experience in Seoul gave me confidence that I never thought I’d have. I gained a new understanding of how to appreciate films, as critiquing the aesthetics and techniques of a shot is so different once you have some sort of practical understanding of how all these components go together. I also have a greater appreciation of Korean cinema in general, having been in the environment and learned about social customs, attitudes, and behaviours.” Serena Messam BA Film and English with Year Abroad, fourth year

On your return, we will prioritise your application for a place in halls, easing the worry of finding accommodation when you come back. You may also be eligible for student finance loans or non-repayable grants, depending on your personal circumstances.

Thomas Walls BA Film and History (2016) and MA Film and Cultural Management (2018)

DISCOVER AN UNEXPECTED PATH Thomas Walls (BA Film and History, 2016;MA Film and Cultural Management, 2018) is a Visitor Engagement Assistant at The Palace of Westminster.

DISCOVER AN UNEXPECTED PATH

The astounding array of topics available to study meant that I was encouraged to explore and develop my knowledge about national cinemas and film cultures of which I had no previous knowledge, and this created a consistently inspiring and engaging learning environment.”

“My priority in finding a job after university was to find something that was fast-paced and stimulating, in a position that would allow me to pursue my interest in history and culture beyond academia. The Palace of Westminster is exactly that – an old building deeply connected with English history on the one hand, and the fully-operational and constantly changing heart of the government on the other. As a Visitor Engagement Assistant, I deliver tours and talks to the public, school groups, and tourists all about the development of the UK political system and the history of the Palace site. I also help to keep Parliament as open and accessible as possible, encouraging public engagement and interest with politics by inviting people to come in and watch the debates, for example. The skills I learnt at university are fundamental to my role at Westminster as they enable me to maintain the focus of my audience. My Master’s course was especially valuable in developing my communication skills, as several of my peers were international students from China, Hong-Kong, and South Korea, for whom English was not a first language. This required me to adapt my delivery technique to ensure my presentations were accessible for everyone.”

WORLD-CLASS RESEARCH

The project, led by the principal investigator, Dr Shelley Cobb of the Film Department at the University and with partners including the British Film Institute and the University of Exeter, sought to undertake a detailed statistical analysis of British films from 2000-2015. This involved interviews with 59 women in six key filmmaking roles. The data collection produced annual reports for the years of 2000-2015 detailing how many women worked in key production roles on British films released between those years to help build a story of women’s varied experiences in British film in the first part of this century.

WORLD -CLASS RESEARCH

Calling the Shots: Women and Contemporary Film Culture in the UK was a four-year project that allowed Southampton Film researchers to investigate what is distinctive about the work of women in British cinema and what obstacles women face in the industry.

APPLYING AND FUNDING

How and when to apply ÒÒ Applications should be submitted via UCAS (www.ucas.com). ÒÒ Our institution code is S27 and our code name is SOTON. ÒÒ The application window opens in early September. ÒÒ The deadline for applications for medicine is 15 October. ÒÒ The equal consideration date for all other programmes is 15 January. Please note that this does not apply to international applicants. ÒÒ The deadline for applications is 30 June, although we strongly advise you to apply as early as possible as some courses may no longer have vacancies after the January equal consideration date. ÒÒ UCAS will automatically forward your application to us and we will let you know when we have received it.

Tuition fees and funding The University will set fees for 2020/21 subject to any conditions imposed by government. Currently the tuition fee is £9,250*, but we offer a large number of generous fee waivers and bursaries for eligible students. For students from lower income families, these financial packages will be based on household income supplied to us by the Student Loans Company.

28

APPLYING AND FUNDING

At Southampton we aim to attract the most talented students from all backgrounds, who enjoy challenging thinking and the excitement of research-led teaching.

If you are funding your own studies, you will need to pay your fees in advance, or you can choose to pay your fees in three instalments on the first day of each term to help spread the cost across the year. Visit our website for the latest information on tuition fees before you submit your UCAS form for entry in the 2020/21 academic year. Students who have applied for a deferred place in 2019/20 will be eligible for the 2020/21 tuition fees and support. If you are a UK student starting a higher education course in 2020/21, you can apply for loans to help pay for both fees and living costs. For more details, visit www.southampton.ac.uk/sb/ fees

EU student fees At the time of print the UK government has not confirmed whether students from the EU will be eligible for UK or international fees. Up-to-date information about fees can be found on our website.

Channel Islands/ Isle of Man student fees Channel Islands and Isle of Man students will be charged the same tuition fee as UK students. For up-to-date information on tuition fees for Channel Islands/Isle of Man students, visit our website.

International student fees for 2020/21

International student fixed fees

All programmes in Social Sciences, and Arts and Humanities: £17,065 per year

International students commencing their programme of study in 2020 will pay the same fixed fee for each year of their programme, with the exception of programmes where a combination of clinical and non-clinical fees apply. In these instances, the non-clinical fixed fee will apply for years one and two, and the clinical fixed fee will apply for the remainder of the programme. Students commencing a Foundation Year will pay less for their Foundation Year than for the rest of their integrated degree.

All programmes in Engineering and Physical Sciences: £21,580 per year Foundation Year in Engineering and Physical Sciences, and Environmental and Life Sciences: £18,852 per year All programmes in Environmental and Life Sciences: £21,580 per year

Except BSc Occupational Therapy: £22,655† per year BSc Physiotherapy: £22,955† per year

Scholarships and bursaries

BSc Podiatry: £22,655† per year

We offer a variety of scholarships and progression awards to the most talented students across our subject areas. For further information and full eligibility criteria, visit www.southampton.ac.uk/ scholarships

Please note: this fee is for 2019/20 entrants and will be higher for 2020/21 entrants. Please check the website for updated fees for these courses.

Fees for international medical students on the BMBS programme are still to be determined at the time of publication. Prospective applicants can find the latest information at www.southampton.ac.uk/sb/fees

*Annual increases, which are also subject to UK Parliament approval, will apply to institutions demonstrating high-quality teaching and are likely to be in line with inflation. The measure of inflation to be used is Retail Price Index (RPIX) (excluding mortgage interest payments). It is anticipated that increases will apply at the commencement of the second and subsequent years of the degree programme.

We also offer a range of bursaries designed to help UK undergraduate students in the most financial need.** For more details and up-to-date information, visit www.southampton.ac.uk/ bursaries

EPQ Our research-led approach to learning is reinforced in the value we place on an Extended Project Qualification. As the first university to formally recognise the EPQ in its admissions offer scheme, we have always recognised that skills gathered through independent project work and research will enhance and prepare you for your university experience.

On most of our courses applicants offering an EPQ will be made two offers – our typical offer based on 3 A levels, and an alternative where, in exchange for an A or A* in the EPQ, we will reduce the A level requirements by one grade. For example, a typical offer of AAA would be made alongside an offer of AAB, plus an A in the EPQ. We also provide free online support on developing EPQ research projects at www.futurelearn.com/courses/ research-project

Equivalent to half an A level, an EPQ requires students to complete a selfdirected and self-motivated project on a topic of their choice.

This prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton. It provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton, along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication. This is provided for information purposes only. Applications made to the University should be made based on the latest programme information made available by the University. Relevant weblinks are shown throughout. Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the prospectus. The information contained in the prospectus, welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject, changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff members’ interests and expertise. Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University, external agencies or regulators.

Find out more: www.southampton.ac.uk/sb/ campuses

The University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the prospectuses, student handbooks, welcome guides and website. It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill. We undertake a continuous review of our programmes, services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement. We are largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community. We therefore, reserve the right where necessary to: – alter the timetable, location, number of classes, content or method of delivery of programmes of study and/or examination processes, provided such alterations are reasonable; – make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements); – suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example, because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University); – make changes to our statutes, ordinances, regulations, policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example, in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators). Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or, if fundamental to the programme, will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students; – close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example, because too few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable).

However, any revision will be balanced against the requirement that students should receive the educational service expected. The University’s procedures for dealing with programme changes and closures can be found in our Quality Handbook at www.southampton.ac.uk/quality If the University closes, discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ‘Change’), the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity. a. If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place, an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application, without any liability to the University, by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change. b. If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling, the student may either: i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits, or ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified. If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university, the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student. c. If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled, the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so. If the University cannot teach out a programme of study, it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university. Any revision will be balanced against the requirement that students should receive the educational service expected. All changes will be managed in line with our Student Protection Plan.

2. Changes to services or facilities

The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate, but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example, the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support).

3. Financial or other losses

The University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures, discontinuations, changes to or mergers of any programme of study, service or facility. Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University, the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual. When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated. Please note: the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1b. above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. In entering into that contract, the terms of the contract will not be

enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

Student Protection Plan As a registered provider of higher education with the Office for Students, we have a Student Protection Plan (SPP) in place, which sets out what students can expect to happen should a course or campus close. The purpose of this plan is to ensure that students can continue and complete their studies, or can be compensated if this is not possible. Full details of the plan can be found at www.southampton.ac.uk/protection-plan

Force majeure The University will not be held liable for any loss, damage or expense resulting from any delay, variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study, services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the University’s reasonable control, including (but not limited to) war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason, fire, boycott and telecommunications failure. In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise, it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the University’s Quality Assurance requirements.

Admissions Policy and complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy. This policy is reviewed at least annually. The Admissions Policy, current at the time of publication, is published online and is available at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk/sectionIV/ admissions.html Before you apply please see subject websites listed for subject-specific terms and conditions. Applicants may raise complaints related to admissions under the University’s Regulations Governing Complaints from Applicants, which can be found at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk/sectionIV/ admissions.html Further information about or clarification of these procedures is available from the Admissions team, Student and Academic Administration, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ; enquiry@southampton.ac.uk

Data protection During the application procedure, the University will be provided with personal information relating to the applicant. An applicant’s personal data will be held and processed by the University in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 2018. Please also see our Privacy Notice for Applicants at www.southampton.ac.uk/about/governance/ policies/privacy-notice-applicant.page
