New MA in Film and Television Studies!

[Alaina Schempp]

Hello SCSMI!

I am really pleased to announce that next year I will be convening a brand new Master's Degree at the University of Birmingham (UK). 

The MA in Film and Television: Industries and Cultures is a one-year taught Master of Arts programme located on our beautiful Edgbaston campus and is comprised of six 20-credit modules and a 60-credit summer dissertation. 

I'd be so grateful if you could inform any potentially interested undergraduate students looking to study in the UK of this exciting opportunity!

The six modules are designed to appeal to students from a wide range of film and television corners, but those invested in evidence-based approaches, cognitive film studies, analytic philosophy of film, video essay production, and screenwriting might be particularly interested. The six modules include:

Movies, Emotions, and the Mind

Advanced Audiovisual Storytelling

Advanced Writing for the Screen

Philosophy and Ethics of the Screen

Screen Histories, Cultures, and Technologies

Topics in Screen Studies, Cultures, and Industries

The dissertation options include 1) a 12,000-word dissertation or 2) a feature-length screenplay (90-120 pages maximum) (100%) 

You can find out more including entry requirements, fees, and how to apply here. 

I'm also happy to field any questions about the programme at this email address: a.p.s...@bham.ac.uk.

Thanks!

All the very best,

Alaina
