Our MA Film and Screen Media with Film Programming and Curating explores the history, development and interaction of film, television and other screen media. The programme encourages you to explore a wide variety of screen media in historical, sociological, aesthetic and anthropological terms and in a variety of cultural and national contexts. You can also explore film programming and curating and choose to specialise in areas including film in museums and galleries, audiovisual archival practices, and exhibitions.
You can thus personalise your MA studies and specialise in areas of film and screen media that match your intellectual interests and career goals, while a work placement option allows you to gain practical experience that may enhance your career prospects.
The programme is unique in its combination of world-class, rigorous postgraduate study with creative and practical opportunities. Some of the option modules, including the two-month work placement module, can help you stand out in a competitive job market and further your career in the media, creative and cultural industries. The programme will also prepare you for advanced research at MPhil/PhD level if you wish to continue studying.
This programme has three other pathways: MA Film and Screen Media, MA Film and Screen Media (with Study Abroad) and MA Film and Screen Media (with Television).

Course programme
The programme consists of three compulsory modules, including a research project or placement, a choice of option modules and a dissertation.
The compulsory module Screen Media: History, Technology and Culture introduces you to the basic methodologies and issues involved in the area concerned, as well as research skills and methods. Programming and Curating: History Theory Methods will provide specialised knowledge of critical debates on curatorial, programming and archival practices.
A unique feature of the programme is the placement, which offers you the experience of working in a prominent media company or institution. Alternatively you can complete a research project which gives you the chance to undertake independent research and reflect on research methodologies.
The option modules allow you to pursue specific interests and areas of research. You must choose at least one 15-credit module and one 30-credit module.
We are part of the Screen Studies Group and participate in the intercollegiate module exchange which involves SOAS, UCL, KCL, Queen Mary University and Goldsmiths. You may take one of your option modules at the participating colleges of the University of London.
You will complete the programme with a 15,000-word dissertation.
