Are you fascinated by film as an art form? Are you intrigued by the creative possibilities of this medium, as well as its power of representation? Do you want to deepen your understanding of cinema’s history and global influence? Then this MA is for you.

On our MA Film Studies, you’ll explore the social, cultural, political, industrial, historical and aesthetic dimensions of film through a range of global case studies from Hollywood cinema to anime.

You will benefit from being based at a groundbreaking and world-respected centre for the subject. UEA pioneered the study of the form and remains a leading institution in the field. The MA Film Studies will give you the skills and knowledge to analyse and understand this multi-billion-pound global industry and to explore the ways in which it plays a crucial part in shaping how we understand the world around us.

You’ll jump straight in and explore the history, political significance and aesthetics of a global range of cinema, with teaching from award-winning lecturers and exposure to the most innovative and contemporary thinking.

In the Film, Television and Media Studies department, our research and teaching are focused on the relationship between film, television and other media, and the creative and cultural contexts in which they are produced and consumed. We are recognised as a leading centre for the study of British Cinema and Hollywood cinemas, popular film and television genres, media consumption and feminist approaches to media.

Your studies will come to life in a number of different ways. As well as lectures, seminars and film screenings, you’ll have access to our state-of-the-art Media Suite, packed with cutting-edge media technologies including editing suites, cameras, sound equipment, sound studio and a digitisation suite.

We are also home to the extensive East Anglian Film Archive, a unique resource which you can make use of during your time here. And we have close links with the British Film Institute in London, and with film festivals and local production companies.

Graduates from our MA frequently progress to PhD study or go on to rewarding careers in various fields, including archiving, academia, journalism, and in the film and television industries.
