Film is a popular subject, and Level 1 and 2 courses therefore involve large lecture classes. However, weekly tutorials enable closer work with the tutor and with other students. Marks for the course are normally based in part on participation in these tutorials, and involve research, essays, exams and Web CT written submissions, depending on individual course requirements. Honours courses are based on seminars that encourage active participation. The Honours degree requires you to write a dissertation in your final year, which can also include a practical filmmaking component.
