Film & Television Studies / Scottish Literature, MA (Hons)

This degree programme examines cinema and television as key forces of enjoyment and knowledge in modern culture, alongside Scottish literature—from 14th-century poetry, drama, fiction, and prose to contemporary works.At the University of Glasgow, Film & Television Studies lecturers are leading researchers who integrate their expertise into teaching, with strong ties to Glasgow’s creative organisations (e.g., talks by policymakers and practitioners in Media & Cultural Policy). The University hosts the UK’s only unit dedicated to Scottish literature teaching and research, including the Centre for Robert Burns Studies producing a new scholarly edition of the national poet’s works. Graduates pursue media, arts, cultural, teaching, and PR roles, with recent placements at BBC Studios, creative agencies, and the British Film Institute; others advance as TV producers, arts administrators, and non-profit leaders, leveraging critical and creative skills across journalism, education, heritage, and more.
