Summary
Our innovative Film, Television and Moving Image MA builds on its prestigious heritage as one of the longest-running degree programmes of its kind in the UK. Through a distinctive mix of creative practice options and academic enquiry, this course emphasises the transformative potential of the screen sector and offers creative practice opportunities at three key stages: screenwriting, production and exhibiting.
Taught by experienced practitioners, educators and academics, our curriculum includes an exciting range of activities tailored to meet your career aspirations. You’ll develop core production and critical thinking skills and can choose to specialise in either fiction screenwriting, nonfiction filmmaking, or moving image curation and exhibition. Modules are designed to both enhance your understanding of existing trends in the screen sector and develop the intellectual and creative acumen needed to become a changemaker in your chosen field.
The distinctive design of this course provides you with knowledge and experience of the growing synergies between mainstream, innovative and research-led creative practices. This enables you to choose where and how to situate your work for the Major Project, which may be a dissertation or a research-supported creative project in one of our three practice specialisms.
The university has a vibrant research culture, which can expand your horizons and inspire your work. We have close links with the Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM), the leading research centre in the UK for arts and design. Members include internationally renowned filmmakers, film and television theorists and historians, and moving image artists and curators. Many of our modules draw on CREAM’s expertise in these areas. We also encourage you to attend events hosted by the Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI), which has produced world-leading research for five decades.
