Duration

Our MA Film and Screen Media (with Study Abroad) explores the history, development and interaction of film, television and other screen media. You will have access to world-class postgraduate teaching and research at Birkbeck, and spend one term abroad at a leading university in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, or Canada. This is the only Master's degree in film and screen media in the UK that includes an international exchange with prestigious European and North American universities.
This programme encourages you to explore a wide variety of screen media in historical, sociological, aesthetic and anthropological terms and, also, in a variety of cultural and national contexts.
You can personalise your MA studies and specialise in areas of film and screen media that match your intellectual interests and career goals, and for the study abroad element, you can choose the university with the specific strengths and specialisms that will help you develop and deepen your particular film and screen media interests. A work placement option allows you to gain practical experience that may enhance your career prospects.
You will need to have good or very good knowledge of at least one European language in order to take full advantage of this programme (for Montreal this language is French). Some universities offer language instruction for Birkbeck students, to help them improve their language skills.
This programme has three other pathways: MA Film and Screen Media, MA Film and Screen Media (with Television) and MA Film and Screen Media with Film Programming and Curating.

Course programme
The programme consists of two 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. Option modules allow you to pursue specific interests and areas of research.
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.
A unique feature of the programme is the placement, which offers you the experience of working in a media company or cultural institution. Alternatively you can complete a research project which gives you the chance to undertake independent research in the area of contemporary film and media practice and to reflect on research methodologies.
