Explore your creative potential and innovative ideas through research, mentored by an industry expert with the MA Filmmaking by Research program.
This program covers every stage of creating a short film or TV pilot (20-30 minutes), from concept development to final postproduction. Additionally, you'll write a 3,000-5,000 word analytical essay to situate your creative project within its academic framework.
The MA by Research in Filmmaking is entirely self-directed, with guidance from your academic supervisor.
Ideal for those seeking to build advanced research skills to complement their undergraduate studies or prepare for a research-focused career, this program serves as both a standalone research degree and a potential pathway to PhD studies. Transfer to doctoral research is possible if your film project demonstrates exceptional quality and potential for deeper exploration.
