Two new posts in film studies at UWE
The Faculty of Humanities has a thriving undergraduate programme which
encompasses a broad range of single and joint honours degrees -
applications exceed 2200 for September entry. At postgraduate level the
number of Masters degrees are also expanding, shortly to include a
fourth award in Film and Video. Evidence of our commitment to delivering
high quality teaching has recently been demonstrated by two of our three
schools being awarded an excellent quality rating. The Faculty is also
committed to high quality research and staff are strongly supported in
developing their research interests. The vast majority of staff were
entered in the RAE in three units of assessment and all units achieved a
4 rating.
