The Film and Screen Media (with Television) course at Birkbeck, University of London encourages  to explore a wide variety of screen media in historical, sociological, aesthetic and anthropological terms and in a variety of cultural and national contexts. Students can personalise their MA studies and specialise in areas of film and screen media that match their intellectual interests and career goals, while a work placement option allows students to gain practical experience that may enhance their career prospects.

This course is unique in its combination of world-class, rigorous postgraduate study with creative and practical opportunities. Some of the option modules, including the two-month work placement module, could help you stand out in a competitive job market and further  career in the media, creative and cultural industries. The course will also prepare students for advanced research at MPhil/PhD level if they wish to continue studying.

This course has three other pathways: MA Film and Screen Media (with Study Abroad), MA Film and Screen Media (with Television) and MA Film and Screen Media with Film Programming and Curating.
