Course Summary

MA Film is a new opportunity to study film at Postgraduate level in Cardiff. The course provides a strong general grounding in the needs of the contemporary British Film and Television industry with opportunities to develop and hone key skills via multiple pathways that lead directly different career opportunities. By combining these different disciplines, students gain the opportunity to collaborate with each other, with other USW students and with industry professionals to develop their skills to a higher level.

The MA Film (Editing) pathway is designed specifically for students who wish to combine a broader education in the film & TV industry and general film making skills with specific editing and grading skills, aimed at gaining an entry-level position in the screen industry.

Applicants who are unsure as to which pathway they should apply for are encouraged to contact the course team for an informal discussion before making an application. Should you choose to apply for more than one pathway, your portfolio should demonstrate your interest and experience in each individual area and therefore more than one portfolio may be required.

Students on the MA Film course will be taught by means of workshops, seminars, lectures and tutorials, as well as guest lectures and masterclasses from industry professionals.

Assessment

Assessment will be via a series of practical assessments based around live briefs and production projects (70%), combined with written reflections and critical analysis of students’ work (30%).

CAREERS

The course features a unique, in-depth work experience module with a local major film and tv industry employer, as well as numerous opportunities for paid and unpaid work experience and shadowing with a broad range of screen industries companies.

Graduates from this course could enter a variety of careers upon graduating. These include jobs in film & TV, screen industries and creative industries more generally.
