Film, Television and Digital Narratives (MA)

The Film, Television and Digital Narratives MA programme focuses on the fields of screenwriting, directing and production. You will acquire broad knowledge of each of the core foci of the programme and of the process of film production before you choose one of the three core focuses as your own field of specialisation in the second semester. In collaborative and integrative production processes that are part of the curriculum, you will work together with other students who have picked a different field of specialisation. As the film industry depends on close coordination of different professions, this collaborative experience is essential to prepare you for the professional life that will follow. In the course of two years, you will learn to write, direct, produce or post-produce different formats such as short films, TV series and features, feature films, TV shows, web series and documentary films. Furthermore, you will learn to analyse and discuss the history and theory of film and TV with a focus on audiovisual film analysis. The cooperation with production companies and TV stations and (international) excursions to festivals extend and deepen your learning experiences from the practice and theory-oriented curriculum. The study programme promotes both artistic films and film as entertainment, while encouraging the development of your very own artistic and professional personality. With these qualities, the course of study is equally artistic and industry-oriented. The programme is non-consecutive. It provides an opportunity to national and international students with a background in social sciences, humanities or the arts to acquire professional skills in the field of film and television. If you come with prior academic and practical knowledge in the respected field, you can refresh and deepen your understanding and skills in one of the core subjects and advance your academic profile according to your interests or the current market requirements.
