Course content

Do you have a passion for film? Are you interested in pursuing a rewarding career in the global film industry? Our MSc in Global Film Industries is the only postgraduate degree of its kind in Scotland, designed to help you convert your knowledge and passion for film into a fulfilling career in areas such as film marketing, film production and management and many more.

The course offers students, a critical and practical study of contemporary global film cultures and histories of cinema, with an emphasis on the place of the Scottish industry in the world.

The course will appeal to those already working in areas of the film sector, who wish to progress to senior level in pre-production (finance, location), distribution (marketing, sales), exhibition (cinema, festival management), policy or film education by developing their knowledge of the global film industry and professionalising their leadership skills and managerial practice. This course is also for those who want to work in the film industry, with a particular emphasis on those roles identified as key skills gaps – for example entrepreneurship, marketing and project management.

The course is available both full and part-time and offers some industry-based learning opportunities.
