About Film and Contemporary Audiovisual Media, Master Degree - at University of Groningen

From the canonical to the cutting-edge, the profound to the playful: the current film world is as diverse and critically engaging as ever. So is our Film and Contemporary Audiovisual Media MA track.

It equips you to join high-level conversations about timely and fascinating issues. There will always be a “next big thing” in the world of cinema, and we welcome our inspired students to discover it with us. In this one-year Master's track, you will work closely with our international faculty, whose collective expertise includes phenomenological and cognitive film theory, film aesthetics, digital film forensics, queer film studies, post-colonial studies, film festival research, screen acting studies, media anthropology, animation studies, documentary studies and more. Our graduates are ready to leave their mark on the next chapters of film history, both inside and outside of academia.

Our track is unique in its combination of research-driven seminars, the rich research resources of the world's Top 100 universities, and the extensive networks of internship opportunities in major film and media institutions. The Master offers a relevant (inter)national internship network. This track will therefore be attractive to students who want to deepen their knowledge of film, swiftly transition into the professional world, and pursue a career in the arts and media sector.
