London is probably the best place to be a film student. You have access to the BFI Reuben Library, the London Film Festival every October, countless other festivals throughout the year, the ICA, Cine Lumiere and more arthouse cinemas than you can shake a stick at.— Rosemary Koper, Film Studies MA (2016)
The School of Languages, Linguistics and Film is friendly and collaborative, bringing a vibrant range of disciplines together. We teach and research on subjects from practical filmmaking to postmodern literature, and from experimental neurolinguistics to Brazilian Portuguese.
This year, Russian and French students have produced plays in their language, linguistics students have presented their research at conferences and film students have directed, shot and edited many short films.
Our work engages the local community through workshops, research projects and public events. We are visited by poets, novelists and outside experts, and we make the most of our location, forging strong links with London’s cultural institutions.
