Introduction
Programme overview
The programme provides film studies and media history students with an opportunity for interdisciplinary specialisation. The name of the field, film and media history, underlines that the media are placed in a historical and therefore social, cultural and political context. The processes of change within the media landscape are also studied from an economic, technical and aesthetic perspective. The aim of the programme is to prepare students for research studies within media history as well as film studies and to work within different types of film and media activities: publishing houses, journalism, media companies, media archives, media education and communication. The MA in Film and Media History is a two-year programme including an opportunity to complete the programme after two semesters with a one-year Master’s degree.
Special features of this programme:
Research-oriented programme for students interested in interdisciplinary and historical perspectives.
Teaching is closely connected to current research and lecturers are specialised in their field.
International guest lecturers are common.
Interactive seminar style where students actively participate is a common form of instruction.
