About Film & Television Studies MA in University of Glasgow

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

Years 1 and 2 provide a theoretical, critical and historical grounding. At Honours you will have the opportunity to combine core and optional courses involving more specialist study via these approaches, and to explore the role of practical work in enhancing understanding of both media. 

YEAR 1

You will take two courses, which introduce techniques of film and television analysis, offer perspectives on film and television history, and examine the changing structures of cinema and television as industries: 

• Looking, listening, reading
• Key moments in the development of film & television.

YEAR 2

You will extend this study with more detailed consideration of key theoretical concepts and historical methods, studying film and television alongside one another in two courses: 

• Spectatorship, audiences and identities
• History, aesthetics and genre. 

You will also study other subjects in years 1 and 2: see Flexible degrees.

YEARS 3 AND 4

If you progress to Honours (years 3 and 4) your studies will consist of a combination of compulsory core courses (Film analysis, Television analysis, Media and cultural policy) and specialist options.

These will typically include courses on particular periods and places (eg postwar Japanese cinema, Scottish film and television); genres (eg animation, amateur cinema); theory and practice of film and television (eg digital media, television production); and specific themes (eg screen performance, children’s television).
