Sociology and Film (Placement Year) : BA Hons

Course overview

Studying Sociology helps you make sense of how society works - and why it doesn’t work in the same way for everyone. This understanding of social theories, together with film history and theory, will help you see film through a different lens. You’ll also work on your own film projects using Lancaster’s cityscape, rural backdrops and coastal scenery as a backdrop.
