Course programme

The MA in Film, Television and Creative Practice is taught as either a one-year full-time course or a two-year part-time course. You will have the opportunity to refine your existing critical academic and practical production skills through a series of compulsory modules, followed by your choice of optional modules, allowing you to specialise in the areas that interest you most and align with your career goals.
You will learn through seminars, screenings, tutorials and production modules, including workshop-based teaching and practical assignments. In the autumn semester you will explore the methods and theories commonly used to study media topics, and the scholarly approaches to studying television’s connections to society. In addition, you will gain an understanding of the processes involved in pitching ideas to industry.

In the second semester you take a compulsory module on video production. You can then tailor your course by choosing two further theory-based modules from a selection that includes topics drawing on staff expertise and specialisms.
You will also produce a dissertation-by-practice, which is an audio-visual project supported by a written portfolio. You will formulate an academic question, which you will then seek to answer using your production and research skills – for example, by making a documentary on a topic of study. This will allow you to combine your intellectual and theoretical knowledge with your practical skills. You will be assigned a member of staff as a supervisor, to advise you on the research, production and writing up of this dissertation.
