The programme will equip students with the tools of film theory and history and develop critical awareness of concrete aspects of the making and distribution of films. It will cultivate skills and expertise in the design and implementation of independent projects and develop critical and creative thinking skills and intellectual agility. It will offer a route to postgraduate research, including doctoral study, as well as open prospects for employment in the film and media and creative sectors, and it will enhance capacity for creative self-employment. Graduates will also be well-placed to develop careers in education in a context of growing demand for specialist film and media educators in many parts of the world.
