Curriculum: The curriculum is designed to provide a balanced and comprehensive education in both English literature and film studies. The English component covers a broad range of literary periods and genres, encompassing canonical authors and lesser-known voices, allowing students to develop their analytical and critical skills. The Film Studies component explores the history of cinema, film theory, different film genres, and the technical aspects of filmmaking.
