MRes: Master in Research (Film and Screen Media)

The MRes in Film and Screen Media is a one-year, stand-alone graduate degree based on coursework and training, and a major research project. The degree provides the opportunity for students to develop a deeper understanding of the subject by engaging in a sustained research project, while acquiring skills that will serve them in their career development or in continuing with their fourth-level studies.

Entry Requirements

To be considered for registration as an MRes candidate, an applicant will normally have a primary degree at Second Honours level, Grade I or the equivalent.

Course Requirements

The core modules provide a common base of research, generic and technical skills that will aid students in their research projects, while the other two modules (Dissertation; Research Journal and Dissertation Presentation) constitute a strong subject-based pathway that will ensure a grounding in the student's discipline. The research project will be intensive and the topic and structure will be determined early in the academic year.

Skills and Employability

MRes students will graduate with a portfolio of skills designed to increase their employability, skills that would not normally be available to them in other one-year taught Master's programmes, or in two-year MPhil programmes which are based primarily on a research dissertation and involve little or no coursework.
