About Film Studies With History BA (hons) in University of Liverpool

Films have been vital cultural outputs for over one hundred years. The context in which they are produced and distributed is constantly changing but their importance as documents of our times remains, as does the pleasure they give to audiences across the world and their potential influence on the way those audiences may see the world. Combining Film Studies with a minor in History gives you the flexibility to explore topics that best complement your major subject.
