Overview
The MA Film programme is taught by experts in Film and seeks to engage you with the key elements that make up the diverse nature of film and moving images.
You spend the entire year at Kent’s Paris School of Arts and Culture where you study at the Columbia Global Center (known as Reid Hall), which is located in a historic corner of Montparnasse in the heart of Paris. This allows you to participate in excursions to prominent cultural locations and make use of research resources that are only available in Paris, such as the French Cinémathèque. You study film within the context of a city that is central both to the development of filmmaking practices and to critical and theoretical approaches to the cinema.
On this 12-month programme, you can choose to begin your studies in September or January and can take a standard (90 ECTS) or an extended (120 ECTS) version of the programme (full-time only). Part-time study is only available for EU/EEA passport holders, and for those who have the right to remain in France for the duration of their degree.
Students interested in taking this MA as a part-time option would take two modules each year (one per term), plus the dissertation in the final year.
