Course content

Learn to create work with impact, relevance and reach on this dynamic on-campus MA course in Film & Television. Based in our renowned School of Film & Television and supported by specialist, award-winning staff, you’ll build the craft and critical skills to situate your work in line with current industry trends, both in the UK and globally.

You’ll benefit from student-centred teaching and expert guest masterclasses while engaging in contextual research and practical projects that mirror professional workflows in real-life creative environments. We cherish courageous originality and the diversity of our student body, welcoming applicants with and without a media background.

We’ll examine how directors like Ben Wheatley and companies like Curzon and Film4 are using multi-platform release schedules. And how brands like HBO, Amazon and Netflix are shaping what we watch and how we watch it.

Exploring the blurred lines between art and technology, you’ll learn everything from journalism to philosophy to essential research skills. Crucially, on top of learning to develop, write, produce, shoot, record, direct and edit, you’ll look into why your ideas are worth being made.
