Film Studies Summer School in Oxford or London
The Immerse Film Studies Summer Program introduces students to the rich history, theory, and practice of cinema, while offering two distinct pathways. In Oxford, the focus is on academic insights, exploring film as a discipline through close study of genres, movements, and criticism, supported by small-group tutorials and 1:1 sessions. In London, the program takes a career-focused approach, combining workshops in screenwriting, directing, and editing with exclusive access to the city’s creative industries. Whichever pathway you choose, you’ll build critical and creative skills, work on your own film project with expert guidance, and experience life at a world-class academic or cultural hub. The program provides both the intellectual foundation and practical experience to prepare you for future study or a career in film, media, or the creative industries.
