At Queen Mary, University London, we pride ourselves on our interconnectedness of theory and practice in film. Our MA programme offers you the opportunity to choose a specific pathway and combine it with elements of theory and practice. The three pathways we offer are MA Film (Theory), MA Film (Documentary Practice) and MA Film (Directing Fiction).

• Three pathways allows you to focus on your specialism of interest
• Taught by specialists in the field
• Gain the skills and knowledge required to pursue a career in film or broadcasting

What you'll study

The MA Film (Directing Fiction) pathway trains you in the technical, theoretical, creative and aesthetic skills necessary to direct fiction film, and helps you find your own voice and vision as a director.

The programme consists of an innovative combination of technical training, suitable for those completely new to filmmaking and those wanting to further their craft, mentoring in the production of a number of short films written and directed by the students, and historical and theoretical teaching.

Career paths

The Department of Film provides great opportunities for you to develop the skills and attributes you need to progress successfully in your chosen career.

Both Documentary Practice and Directing Fiction pathways provide graduates with a roster of festival ready films, and the skills to pursue independent filmmaking or work in the industry. All three pathways equip you with skills and knowledge to pursue a range of careers in film and broadcasting, as well as continuing on to PhD study.
