Course summary

The BA Film Studies and Korean combined degree at SOAS University of London provides an engaging and interdisciplinary education that merges the exploration of global cinema with the study of the Korean language and culture. This unique programme allows students to critically analyse the historical, cultural, and artistic dimensions of film while developing their proficiency in Korean, offering a deep understanding of both media and Korean cultural contexts.In the BA Film Studies component, students investigate the diverse histories, theories, and practices of cinema, with a particular emphasis on Korean film. The curriculum encourages critical engagement with how film reflects and shapes societal values, cultural identity, and political issues. Students explore a wide array of cinematic works, from classic films to contemporary hits, gaining insights into the evolution of Korean cinema and its significance on the global stage. With the support of SOAS’s distinguished faculty and industry connections, students have opportunities to attend guest lectures from filmmakers and film scholars, while practical training in film analysis and curation equips them with the necessary skills for a successful career in the film and media industries. The programme’s central location in Bloomsbury, near key film institutions such as the British Film Institute, enhances the student experience with access to screenings, panel discussions, and networking events.The BA Korean component of the programme offers a comprehensive exploration of the Korean language, literature, and culture. Students engage in language study from beginner to advanced levels, developing strong communication skills and cultural competence. The curriculum encompasses various aspects of Korean society, including its history, traditions, and contemporary cultural phenomena, allowing students to situate their language skills within a broader cultural context. This focus on Korean culture enriches students' understanding of film, enabling them to appreciate the nuances and significance of cinematic works produced in Korea.By combining these two disciplines, the BA Film Studies and Korean programme equips graduates with critical analytical skills, cultural literacy, and language proficiency. This interdisciplinary approach prepares students for diverse career opportunities in film, media, translation, education, cultural consultancy, and international relations, empowering them to engage meaningfully with both the cinematic arts and the vibrant culture of Korea.
