Master of Arts - Film and Television: Research and Production

The MA in Film and Television: Research and Production places employability and storytelling at the heart of the programme. Utilising a combination of theoretical approaches, critical engagement, creative practice and hands-on technical training, this MA gives students the chance to work within a dynamic and innovative department.

It combines rigorous academic training in research skills and methodology with technical and vocational training in designing, researching and editing audio-visual content. It also includes a media-focused work placement of up to 10 weeks.

Combining academic and professional training, the programme brings together theory and practice to enable students to develop key skills and abilities: creativity, collaboration, communication and critical thinking.

This interdisciplinary masters programme is designed to help students take the specialist academic knowledge from their first degree and apply it in practical ways to kick-start their career in media production or scholarly research.

In addition to the MA, this programme also offers the opportunity to gain an industry-recognised qualification in Health and Safety for productions, which is a great enhancement to a CV. This is part of the Production Safety Passport Scheme approved by ScreenSkills (the skills body for the screen industries in the UK).
