Film - MA

Our Film programme, taught at Kent’s Paris School of Arts and Culture, offers a thorough grounding in postgraduate-level film and is suitable both for graduates in the subject and those new to it. It is the only Film MA offered by a British university in Paris and taught in English.

Overview

Taught by experts, the MA Film programme seeks to engage you with the advanced study of the nature theory, and history of film.

Applicants with a specific interest in film practice should consider our separate MA Film with practice programme delivered at our Canterbury campus.

Studying at the Paris School of Arts and Culture

Taught in English, we offer interdisciplinary, flexible programmes that take full advantage of all the cultural resources Paris offers. Study trips to the city’s museums, art exhibitions, archives, cinemas and architectural riches are an integral part of your studies. Our research and teaching will engage you in a dialogue with aesthetic, conceptual and historical perspectives.

The interdisciplinary nature of the School means you can choose modules from outside your subject area, broadening your view of your subject. As part of our international community of students and staff, you can take part in regular seminars and talks, write for the student-run literary magazine or help to organise our annual student festival.

The Film MA can also be studied between Canterbury and Paris, with the first term at our Canterbury campus and the spring term at our centre in Paris. You can also study the programme at Canterbury only.
