About Film Studies With Philosophy 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 Philosophy gives you the opportunity to add to your Film Studies major with a subject that engages with some of the biggest and hardest questions with which humanity has ever grappled.
