The M.Phil. in Screen Studies allows students to develop the skills required to write successfully for and about a range of different screens in a critically informed and creative context, supported by the latest developments in media trends and digital content. In addition, the course aims to develop the key transferable skills required for postgraduate study. These include research preparation, time management, and oral and written presentation skills. The programme is comprised of 60 ECTS of taught modules and a 30-ECTS research component.

 

Is This Course For Me? 

The objective of the programme is to prepare graduates who can adapt to an arts landscape and media industry that recreates itself regularly around technological advances. Driven by their own interests, over the course of the MPhil, students will create a portfolio of screen media and screen studies work. The portfolio can include library-based research, feature film or television screenplays, podcasts and project pitches. In addition to the one-year full-time programme, the MPhil in Screen Studies is offered part-time over two years.
