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 course 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.

A work placement option allows you to gain practical experience that may enhance your career prospects.
