Undergraduate majors:

Media and writing and Film studies We offer two majors in the Faculty of Humanities: in Media and Writing and in Film Studies. Students may elect to major in either or both of these subjects.
Film and Media Production Programme Production training is offered in the sought-after Film and Media Production Programme. Students apply for admission to the production programme in their second year and can opt for the video, print, radio, screen-writing or interactive media production streams. Short video production courses may also be offered during the summer term (Dec/Jan).

Postgraduate studies
We offer a range of taught postgraduate courses: an Honours in Film Theory and Practice; an Honours in Film Studies; an Honours/Masters in Media Theory and Practice; and an Honours/Masters in Political Communication. Many of these taught courses can be taken part-time as they are taught in the late afternoon. In most cases, students can include creative projects as part of the degree requirements. We also offer the MA and PhD by dissertation if we can supervise adequately. The department has some of the country's leading journalists and media practitioners amongs its postgraduates and is keen to develop its research strength by attracting post-doctoral students. Please contact Robyn Udemans for more information.

Research

The Centre tries to base much of its teaching on current research and on creative projects. (Staff research interests are set out under staff profiles on the Faculty and Administrative Staff page.) Students will be expected to develop creative attitudes and a spirit of critical inquiry.
