Drawing on the internationally recognised expertise of our academics primarily in the areas of Film and Television aesthetics history and theory this course enables you to familiarise yourself with key disciplinary issues and topics and to prepare for application for PhD if desired.

Teaching

During the Autumn term you will take a core module Screen Cultures and Methods in which a number of staff will introduce key methodological approaches and illuminate how an element of their own research can then inform the theory under discussion. You then have the choice of three further optional modules taken over the first two terms (one in the Autumn term and two in the Spring term).

The core elements of the Film and Television Studies curricula are supported by a programme of research seminars (departmental staff PhD students and visiting speakers) and the wide range of screenings for other courses and more generally on campus.

The programme includes dedicated sessions in Graduate Skills that will equip you with the necessary academic skills to excel in Master’s assignments and PhD applications.

Assessment
