The Master’s in Film Studies combines theoretical and practical aspects of film and enables productive interaction between academia and the film industry. Whatever your academic background, this taught programme invites you to explore your love of film in a professional capacity. The M.A. will test your practical capabilities and provides you with the necessary techniques to successfully plan and shoot a short film, and to develop it in all its stages from the script to the screen. By analysing the interaction of image and sound and combining it with research, history, academia, and narrative, you will be appositely prepared to tell your story through the medium of film.
