MA Film & Television Studies/French
About this course
Film and television studies combined with French is a degree that connects two disciplines with complementary concerns for how culture is produced, circulated, and understood. Film and television studies examines moving image media as both art form and cultural institution, engaging with the history, theory, and analysis of cinema and television from their origins to the present, and with the ways in which these forms of storytelling shape and reflect social values, political ideologies, and human experience. French adds a major linguistic and cultural dimension, developing genuine proficiency in one of the most significant languages in film history and opening access to the rich traditions of French and Francophone cinema and culture. At the University of Glasgow, this five-year full-time programme with sandwich placement year and work placement opportunities is taught by leading researchers in film and television studies with strong connections to Glasgow's creative and cultural organisations, including screen practitioners and policymakers who contribute to the curriculum. The French component develops your language skills alongside cultural knowledge of the French-speaking world. The typical entry tariff of 200 points reflects the competitive nature of entry to a strong combined programme at Glasgow. You will develop skills in film and television analysis, critical writing, screen industry knowledge, French language proficiency, and the research capabilities that both disciplines demand. Graduates pursue careers in the film and television industry, broadcasting, distribution, arts administration, journalism, criticism, education, translation, and international cultural organisations. Postgraduate study in film studies, French, or screen arts is a natural continuation for those seeking specialist expertise.
