Postgraduate Diploma in Arts in Cinema Studies in Christchurch New Zealand | University of Canterbury

UC's Cinema Studies postgraduate programs are administered through the English Department. While our Honors courses carry English department codes, they concentrate exclusively on film studies and require specialized prerequisites.
Students pursuing MA, MA(Thesis), or PhD degrees in Cinema Studies through the English program have earned distinguished UC Master's Scholarships, researching varied cinematic subjects from American indie films to French New Wave, Japanese Anime, and LGBTQ+ cinema.
Postgrads can gain practical experience by serving as tutors for introductory Cinema Studies courses.
Alumni enter diverse media fields including film production, broadcasting, digital journalism, and roles like social media coordinators, digital content creators, and communication specialists. Many also establish teaching careers in secondary schools and universities.
