Overview
The Screen Studies programme from University of Liverpool aims to provide you with the opportunity to develop an in-depth knowledge of the industrial and cultural dimensions that permeate screen-based media. Focusing on both the historical evolution of film and television and their shifting place in contemporary media industries and cultures, it aspires to help you understand the complexity of current media trends on a global scale while also cultivating transferrable skills related to media research, applied knowledge, real world insights and practical experience, all strongly informed by digital-led approaches and tools. Strongly interdisciplinary, the course brings together elements of film studies, communication studies, media studies, sociology, policy studies, political economy and others.
The MA provides excellent preparation for a research degree in a Department with a strongly established “Screen and Film Studies” research cluster, but it is also intended to answer the needs of students who wish to master skills and expertise as a means to building a career in the field of screen industries, and to improve employability skills for a career in the broader media and creative industries sector.
Career prospects
The MA in Screen Studies provides a comprehensive and balanced postgraduate level in screen-based media studies, a subsection of the broad communication and media studies. The degree is designed to provide a strong platform from which to progress to further research at PhD level that is supported and supervised by the members of the Screen and Film Studies research cluster in the Department of Communication and Media.
Career opportunities in screen-based media exist in a number of sectors, including: media industries (production, distribution, exhibition, sales, research in film, television, streaming platforms/on-demand video companies) on a global scale; local, regional, national, international institutions and organisations that support, regulate, collaborate with screen-based companies; local, regional, national, international organisations, institutions, publications and projects that research, analyse and report on screen-based media.
