Immerse yourself in the critical study of film and television, developing advanced analytical and research skills while gaining the perspectives needed to understand and shape screen cultures today. As one of the few masters programmes in the UK to give film and television equal prominence, it offers excellent preparation for PhD research and propels graduates into careers in film education, festival programming, arts administration, and research roles across television, academia, and the public sector.
2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in any subject.
A 2.2 Honours degree will be considered where supported by relevant experience. Substantial, directly relevant experience may be considered in place of formal qualifications.
The programme provides an excellent foundation for an academic career in this field and we provide support and guidance on PhD applications and funding opportunities if you are considering this path.
While the MLitt is a good training for PhD study, graduates go on to a range of careers in the media and creative industries including film education, festival management and programming, and arts administration as well as to research roles in television, academia, or the public sector.
