MLitt in Global Cinema

School of Languages, Cultures and Religions

University of Stirling

Students benefit from a wide range of interdisciplinary expertise within the School of Languages, Cultures and Religions, Film & Media Studies and English Studies.

Teaching is seminar driven giving students ample opportunities for discussion and active engagement with the visual and written texts being studied. Students study a variety of films and film industries within the context of topics such as globalisation, postcolonial and diaspora studies and transnational production.

A distinctive feature of this course is its emphasis on the role of Hollywood in the cinematic world order and its rejection of the dichotomy between 'Hollywood' and 'the rest'.

Assessed coursework builds logically towards the dissertation by giving students direct experience in doing literature searches, compiling bibliographies and analysising secondary sources, as well as producing original analysis of individual or small groups of films, all of which are essential skills they will use in the dissertation and beyond.

The course takes 12 months full-time or 27 months part-time.

Applicants must have, or be likely to obtain, a first or upper second class single or combined honours degree in a relevant subject or subjects from a UK University or an equivalent qualification. Applicants with other qualifications may be admitted at the discretion of the Programme Director.
