Because of its unique combination of theoretical elements with a strong practical component, this highly successful part-time degree will prepare you for employment in one of the numerous areas of the film, television and media industries.
If you are already working within these industries but feel the need of formal qualifications, this course will provide you with the necessary training and techniques to further enhance your skills. The taught Master’s programme will also enable holders of the degree to pursue their postgraduate studies at a doctoral level in film, television, and other screen media.
The taught component of the MA in Film Studies provides new insights and tools in the critical analysis of film and its relationship to the other arts. As students in the MA in Film Studies, you also get to plan and shoot your own short film in all its stages, from the script to the screen, in collaboration with your peers and under the mentorship of internationally acclaimed scriptwriters and filmmakers.
The units regularly on offer are accompanied by a vast range of masterclasses, special events and guest speakers throughout the academic year. Join us in a vibrant environment and engage with us on a broad spectrum of topics across theory and practice.

If you are not in possession of a first degree you still have the opportunity to apply as your eligibility will be considered under the University's Recognition of Prior Learning. In this case, candidates will be called for an interview and will be assessed on the basis of their professional qualifications or skills (i.e. a portfolio) closely related to the study of film: published or unpublished film reviews and articles, films, videos, photographs, drawings, illustrations, storyboards, comic-book art, digital images, a good background in storytelling and creative writing.
