Course content
This is a two year International Master's Programme in Cinema Studies. Ideal for you that would like to expand your interest in research - and maybe even pursue a career as a PhD student.
As a student of Cinema Studies, you will experience film, television, and moving images anew - explore previously unknown phenomena and acquire tools to approach, describe, and interpret media in new and exiting ways - all taught in Filmhuset (Swedish Film Institute)
The Education is in English. All courses in Cinema Studies contain a number of screenings, and over the course of the Programme you will have viewed a wide selection of films, from classics to rare films by directors from all corners of the world.
Our Faculty includes some of Sweden's most prominent researchers in the field, teaching in a unique building dedicated to and built for film-related activities - featuring two large cinemas, a dedicated film library, a film archive, the Swedish Film Institute, and a cinematheque.
As a student with us you will be in a fairly small group that ensure you to get access to the professors and supervisors - being in a small group also give you an opportunity to get to know eachother, study together and hang out together - and that is perhaps the most important thing.
Help getting started with your thesis early
Supervisor from the startA unique feature of the Cinema Studies Programme is that you get a supervisor early. Already by the end of the first semester. This is why it is good to have a general idea - when you apply - of what your thesis will be about.
Master Thesis Seminars through out the programMaster Thesis Seminars run from the first semester through the last, allowing you to share and develop ideas with your own cohort and with 2nd year students. This is a great way to get a better understanding in how the process of writing a thesis works.
