Film & Television Studies / Philosophy, MA (Hons)

This degree programme examines cinema and television as key sources of enjoyment and knowledge in modern culture, alongside philosophy's systematic pursuit of reasoned answers to profound questions on knowledge, life, morality, science, and human nature.At the University of Glasgow, Film & Television Studies lecturers are leading researchers who integrate their expertise into teaching. Strong ties with Glasgow's creative organisations enrich the programme through guest talks (e.g., on Media & Cultural Policy), reading parties in the Highlands, and a vibrant Philosophy Society. Graduates pursue media, arts, and cultural careers—such as BBC Studios production coordinator, BFI diversity analyst, TV producer, or arts administrator—as well as teaching and PR. Transferable skills include critical analysis, clear thinking, and questioning assumptions.
