MLitt Film Studies aims to provide students with an understanding of the cinema and the way films are developed, and their medium's relationship to other art forms.
Students are encouraged to think critically about these ideas, and to appreciate the importance of relating critical close analysis of style and form to theory, context, politics and history. These analytical skills, combined with assessment that tests presentational and communication skills and problem solving abilities, are essential in the workplace.
The programme is inherently interdisciplinary in its approach (looking at film in relation to literature, art history and music, television and popular culture).
Graduates will gain a high degree of knowledge and expertise about cinema, literature, art, media, and popular culture, and will explore the relationship between these fields in a highly critical and interdisciplinary way. Students taking this programme may pursue academic careers, work in the media, or in the creative industries or publishing.
