15. STUDENT SOCIETIES The Students’ Union subsidises student-run societies and the School welcomes its students setting up societies to organise events, such as parties, visits to relevant exhibitions, plays, films etc. relating to their subject areas. 16. THE ARTS ONE BUILDING Smoking is prohibited in the Arts One Building (and everywhere else on campus). Please do not carry open drinks around the building; these should only be consumed on the ground floor. Please make use of litter bins in- and outside the Building. Please do not stick posters to the walls. These measures ensure a much more pleasant environment for us all to live and work in, and your co-operation is much appreciated. Please note that to avoid overloading, the lifts in the Arts One Building are for the use of staff and those with serious medical conditions only. Entry to the Arts One Building is via the front door on Mile End Road. You will be required to show your student ID at the entrance. Your student ID will also give you card access via the side and rear doors on weekdays from 8 am to 6 pm. Certain students may be given additional temporary access at other times (e.g. film studies students working on specific practice-based modules). Film Studies students undertaking practical modules will also have limited access to the Arts Two Building. In the event of an emergency, the rear and side doors of the building will automatically unlock. In case of a fire alarm, you must make your way immediately via the nearest exit to Assembly Point D, by the Lock-keepers’ Cottage. Do not remain by the exits to the building. 17. DEPARTMENTAL INFORMATION 17.1 DEPARTMENT OF FILM STUDIES For single-subject Film Studies students and joint-degree students of French, German, Hispanic Studies or Russian the home department will be the School of Languages, Linguistics and Film. Film Studies and Drama students will have an adviser in Film Studies and another in Drama. Film Studies and History students will have a History adviser. You should follow the programme regulations for that department for any matters concerning your overall studies, such as changing programme, applying for extenuating circumstances to be taken into account during the examination period, all of which will be set out in the relevant School Handbook. Library of special interest British Film Institute Library, 21 Stephen Street (off Tottenham Court Road, nearest tube Tottenham Court Road, website: http://www.bfi.org.uk). You will need a membership card to use this Library; students who are not members can borrow one of the College’s corporate membership cards from the Library issues desk. 17.2 DEPARTMENT OF FRENCH Libraries of special interest Institut Français, 17 Queensberry Place, London SW7 2DT 66
This is the official French government centre of language and culture in London. There are films, plays, lectures and conferences all the year round, as well as discussion sessions (cafés philosophiques) on Saturday mornings. Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies The Romance Studies section is based at Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU. 17.3 DEPARTMENT OF GERMAN Libraries of special interest Goethe-Institut, 50 Princes Gate, Exhibition Road, London SW7 2PH The Austrian Cultural Institute, 28 Rutland Gate, London SW7 1PQ The Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies: the Germanic Studies Library is based at 29 Russell Square, London WC1 (no borrowing is allowed, and a written recommendation from the department is required). • The Goethe-Institut puts on German plays, films, exhibitions, talks and more. • The Austrian Institute also has lectures, exhibitions and chamber concerts. • The German Information Centre (34 Belgrave Square, London SW1X 8QB) gives seminars and offers a wide range of documentary and audio-visual material. • And the German YMCA (35 Craven Terrace, London W2 3EL) also organizes various lectures, seminars and informal meetings. The German department also hosts a Research Seminar, which is a forum for guest lectures by visiting speakers, and for informal talks on work-in-progress by staff of the department and postgraduate students. All undergraduate students are cordially invited to attend, participate in discussions, and meet the speakers. These occasional meetings are advertised on noticeboards. Students are welcome to participate in the conference, seminar and lecture programme of the Centre for Anglo-German Cultural Relations. 17.4 DEPARTMENT OF IBERIAN AND LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES Reading texts in Spanish First year students taking Introductory Spanish may study texts in English translation, but all other students are expected to read and study the set texts in the original Spanish. Your participation in classes, your essays, and your exams must show evidence of first-hand knowledge of the original; otherwise you can expect to be penalised. You may find that with medieval and Golden Age texts you need the help of a translation, but if you do use one, it must be in addition to the original, not instead. Research seminars The department runs two research seminars. Although these are primarily designed for staff and graduate students, the subjects discussed are often relevant to undergraduate modules, and all students are welcome to attend. 1. Medieval Hispanic Research Seminar (certain Fridays at 3 pm) 2. Departmental Research Seminar (certain Wednesdays at 5 pm) The speakers at the first two of these seminars are usually visitors, many of them distinguished scholars. The speakers at the departmental Research Seminar are always staff or graduate students of the department. 67
