Film Studies (Film and Philosophy pathways available) MA

Film Studies at King’s is internationally recognised as a leading department in the field of film and media studies. Our reputation attracts pre-eminent research and teaching staff from around the world (including North America, South Africa, Korea, India, Australia, Spain and Hong Kong), and our curriculum has strengths in world cinema, artist film and video, creative practice, and other screen media. The MA Film Studies offers an extensive range of options taught by subject specialists, covering key areas of film and media including film theory, style, representation, spectatorship, philosophy, and critical media practice (filmmaking). You'll develop advanced analytical, critical, and creative skills while engaging with film across diverse historical, cultural, and global contexts. Located in the centre of London, our proximity to BFI Southbank (including the BFI Reuben Library), Southbank Centre, and Tate Modern means you will be studying film in the heart of one of the world’s leading cultural capitals, with access to exceptional resources. Our London Film Cultures module, for example, directly engages with this vibrant cultural landscape. The MA is ideal preparation for careers in the media, arts, and cultural industries, as well as for doctoral study and further academic research.
