Studying on this new MA affords you the opportunity to study in one of the UK’s most dynamic cities. Liverpool is the second most filmed in city after London and has a vibrant media and cultural industry. With the Twickenham Studios film production facility due to open in the Littlewoods Building in 2020, there is no better time to study Film in Liverpool. This forward-looking MA prepares you for bridging the traditional gap between theory and practice, by inviting you to both ‘think’ and ‘do’ film, thus bringing down barriers and forging new approaches to the analysis and production of films. The MA Film promotes an experimental approach that considers film as a tool for research and a means for understanding, exploring and representing the world. The programme will build a cohort of practice-informed academics, and theory-informed practitioners, while offering the opportunity to study in a dynamic city with a burgeoning film industry.

If you have no experience studying Film (practice and/or theory) you must demonstrate a genuine interest and commitment to develop your knowledge in this area.
Those without a degree will be considered on their individual circumstances. We expect such applicants to demonstrate a good body of professional practice as a creative media practitioner (nominally equivalent to three years) and a commitment to a postgraduate programme of study. All applicants without a degree must attend an interview as part of the application process. The Programme Leader will make a decision on whether to admit the candidate on the basis of experience evidenced by CV (which must be provided at the point of application), portfolio/showreel, reference and interview. Evidence of engagement with critical debate in the area of media is expected.
