The Film Studies MA offers students an advanced understanding of both the historical development of cinema and media, as well as contemporary trends. It equips you with the key concepts, theories and research methods needed for graduate-level study in film and media.
Throughout the academic year, you will complete core modules that establish a strong foundation in film studies, while also developing essential skills in academic research and essay writing. Alongside these, you can choose optional modules to tailor your studies to your specific interests, exploring diverse cinema cultures and interdisciplinary approaches to film analysis.

This allows you to pursue your own research interests in depth during the final term and over the summer.
