Masters Degrees in Film Studies
We have 197 Masters Degrees in Film Studies
Masters degrees in Film Studies explore the history and cultural impact of cinema, film production and other aspects of motion picture technology or related media. Specialised courses may focus on specific genres, directors or national traditions. Most programmes award an MA (Master of Arts) but opportunities also exist to carry out postgraduate research through an MRes or MPhil in Film Studies.
Why study a Masters in Film Studies?
## These Masters degrees will train you to understand, appreciate and analyse some of the most important cultural media of the modern area. Programmes will provide opportunities for advanced study of Film Studies as a general topic, along with the chance to specialise in specific areas such as Hollywood ‘blockbuster’ movies, documentary filmmaking or cinema as propaganda – to name a few. Some courses may also include practical elements, focussing on the technical aspects of filmmaking, screenwriting and cinematic production. Watching films may not sound like the most productive route through postgraduate study, but these courses can have a range of rewarding career outcomes. Film is a significant cultural industry, with opportunities to work in the production and promotion of a range of projects. Journalism also focusses heavily on film, in both traditional print and online forms. Finally, film heritage is also a growing area, with many national and international museums and organisations dedicated to cinematic preservation and restoration.Refine your search
