Our innovative and strikingly diverse course will equip you to integrate the theory and practice of film, video and new screen media at an advanced level. Learning about documentary, fiction, artists' film and multi-channel installations alongside students from all around the world, you will explore the many ways in which moving images can be authored.Our students traditionally produce outstanding films on a course that has proved ideal for graduates of film studies, cultural and media studies, humanities and social sciences, as well as art and design.You will learn in a creative, collaborative environment that draws upon the research of leading film practitioners, theorists and historians and takes advantage of our great links to the film industry and art world.A major strength of this course is its diversity. Unlike other MA film courses, this course enables you to look at the different ways of making films and learn a mix of craft skills.Our course encourages you to experiment with how ideas are formed, how concepts are developed and how images are created. You will also interrogate how meanings are constructed in film.You'll be taught by a range of staff, all of whom are practitioners in the area they teach. The assessments are based on practice-led teaching relevant to various aspects of the film industry. Our staff are well placed to take advantage of a range of professional networks and industry contacts. Each module is designed with both a practical component and a written reflective component, with the intention that students develop an ability to comment on and justify their creative process.Our graduates emerge well-prepared to thrive in the cultural and creative industries in areas such as film and TV production, contemporary art, new media platforms, teaching and doctoral research.Some of our recent MA students have taken on key roles in the film industry, film journalism and film festivals. Others have progressed to practice-led PhD research or have found employment in London's vibrant production and post-production film and TV culture.
Students need a minimum of 2.2 Honours degree in Humanities, Social Science or Art/Design related subject, with preference to Film, Media and Arts. They will normally be expected to have Grade C in GCSE English and Maths.
