MA in Film Studies (1 year full time) – this long-established
course addresses a wide variety of film cultures, from Hollywood to European
and non-Western modes of film-making. It gives a comprehensive education in the
major theoretical approaches to the subject; one of the most distinctive
features of the programme is its emphasis on transnational or global
perspectives on cinema.

Film Studies is an
exciting and challenging subject that provides a critical understanding of film
as popular entertainment, theoretical discipline, industry and art form. “Apart
from the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, we also
offer a 'PhD by distance learning', and a four-year integrated PhD, which
combines taught elements in the first year with the more traditional PhD format
in subsequent years,” said Prof. Bergfelder.
