Study programmes

The field of film studies proposed for re-accreditation is organized as a three-year undergraduate study. It includes general core of the Faculty of Arts (world language, intro to philosophy, physical education ), courses in film theory, history of the world cinema, the Czech and Slovak film and a series of elective courses from other disciplines. The emphasis is on written assignments of various types, and active participation in seminars (discussion on the topic, text analysis, development of critical thinking and writing skills, historical criticism and analysis of sources, archival research, study of periodicals and literature, introductory texts for films in art house cinemas, dramaturgy, film festivals, etc.). The study supports the development of students’ communication skills, including the ability to formulate the problem in a structured way and to include it a broader context. The aim is to train qualified film experts capable to succeed in a wide range of professional careers outside the academia and to continue in the M.A. program in film studies.
