Our MA programmes offer the opportunity for you to undertake advanced study of films from different periods and international contexts. As a postgraduate student you will gain a strong methodological grounding in research, and a fluency in a variety of theoretical and historical approaches to cinema. You will benefit from highly qualified and experienced academic staff with a commitment to research-led teaching, and you will work closely with staff on your own research. Our MA in Film Studies and MA in English: Film Studies Pathway offer two different ways of studying film.
The MA in Film Studies comprises of four film modules and allows students to specialise in the study of cinema.
