Course summary

Address the image world, find out how images create meaning, and discover what you can do with what you see on this eclectic MA programme

If this degree were a film we鈥檇 be watching the beginning and the end. We think, like Walter Benjamin, that it鈥檚 in these moments 鈥� in their inception and their obsolescence 鈥� that you see the utopian possibilities of a form or social movement.

The questions we ask

Are we in the midst of a beginning? What can we learn now from visual culture鈥檚 past? What鈥檚 happening to our bodies when we play a video game? What are the gestures involved in everyday life? How do our bodies relate to technology?

These are the kinds of topics we analyse on this MA. We want to go beyond the borders of a traditional film studies degree so we go back to the beginning of film history to explore what it meant to fashion yourself in an image, or for a society to see itself in an image. Then we explore how images gain meaning now, and where they鈥檙e going next.

The processes we use

We鈥檙e interested in the evolution of the image, but also image culture. As photographs and films constitute more and more of our communication, we encourage students to try to put their thought into audio-visual form for some modules.

For the MA鈥檚 Media Arts Pathway, you can make your own piece of work and submit it as part of the final project, the dissertation. Production values are not the focus for us. We鈥檙e interested in what you do with an idea.

The approach we take

We think learning is about trying to get hold of something you don鈥檛 know yet; wrestling with ideas you鈥檙e unsure of so as to work critically and imaginatively across multiple media forms. While we do look at films, we also investigate such things as contemporary gallery work, the city鈥檚 screens, computer and phone interactivity to reconsider our relationship to images.

We study our heritage of image taking and making not just to discover how that relationship has changed over time, but also to find jumping-off points for our own experimentation and try to create something new.

Careers

Our graduates go on to work in areas such as programming and curating, film and video distribution, and film and television criticism, but many also create their own careers. Twenty per cent of our graduates pursue PhD degrees.
