Film and TV Studies MRes

Our outward-looking, multi-disciplinary research activities are based on high-quality, challenging and flexible graduate programmes.

Overview

We offer postgraduate research students a wide range of options for independent study, from one-year taught degrees to three-year doctoral programmes. In undertaking such a programme, you will be joining a thriving and vibrant postgraduate community.

We welcome students from a variety of backgrounds, working on areas of specialist interest using methods from the arts, humanities and social sciences, including, where appropriate, research through practice.

Topics in which we would welcome postgraduate research include:

• Television and Film Theories
• Screen Histories, Aesthetics and Practices
• The National, Transnational and World Cinemas
• Film Festivals and Curation
• Media Technologies
• Gender, Race, Age, Disability and Class.

Thesis length: 20,000-30,000 words (including references, bibliography and appendices).

Our Master of Research includes both taught and research elements. You will be required to undertake 60 to 80 credits worth of taught courses as well as independent study which represents some contribution to knowledge.
