Course content
FM3002 and FM3003 are theoretical film and media studies courses. The course instruction is research-based, which means that topics addressed in the course will vary according to the research interests of the teaching staff. Students will gain valuable insight into theoretical approaches and research methods, as well as a deeper knowledge of current research in the field, which will be useful as they embark on their own research for a master's thesis.
The course is taught by alternating members of staff, and thus themed according to their current research topics: for instance, Climate Fiction, Production Studies, Film and Media in the Age of Terror, Sound Studies, Media Ecology, or Mediated Representations of the Past.
