Film and Cultural Management

Overview

Course Details

At the Film and Cultural Management MA course offered at the University of Southampton you'll examine the importance that film has on society.

Depending on your choice of modules, you could study film-related topics such as:

• festivals and specialist programming
• policy
• exhibition
• marketing and audience development
• the role of film agencies

You'll gain real-world insight through case studies that draw on local, national and international examples, and study the subject in both national and global contexts.

The cultural sector plays an increasingly significant role in political, social and economic policy because of its potential to enhance cultural life while generating wealth.

Career Opportunities

The programme aims to facilitate your engagement with contemporary debates of current concern in the cultural sector, to develop your critical awareness of issues and debates in film studies and cultural management, and to reflect upon different methodologies and their effective use in applied research. You will be encouraged to develop your own research interests, applying the skills and resources you acquire during the programme. At the same time, we foster a collaborative ethos in which students exchange knowledge and ideas. The emphasis is on progression towards shaping the direction of your degree yourself, rather than relying on your tutors to set the agenda for you.
