Program Description:: Our innovative MA in Film and Television builds on its prestigious heritage as the longest running degree programme of its kind in the UK.

Our curriculum incorporates an exciting variety of learning and teaching activities designed to foster your capacity for researching and rigorously analysing different aspects of film, television and moving images. You will have the opportunity to develop key skills for communicating about and with moving images across a range of contexts and platforms. You can choose to have a broad-based learning experience in film, television and moving image, or you can specialise in moving image curation and screenwriting via our suggested pathways.

Requirements:: You will need a good Honours degree in a related discipline from a recognised university. We welcome applications from mature candidates with a professional background in film, television, media, education, arts administration, or other related professional fields. We accept candidates from a range of related disciplines, and your undergraduate degree does not necessarily have to be in film or television studies. The course requires a high standard of written and spoken English. If English is not your first language, or your secondary education was not conducted in English, you will need to certify that you have achieved an overall IELTS grade of at least 6.5, with no individual score in reading, writing, speaking and listening to English below 6.0. If you have not previously studied in English, we strongly recommend that you enrol in the University’s pre-sessional English courses. Where appropriate we may conduct telephone or Skype interviews before offers of admission are made.
