Bachelor of Arts with Honours - Film

Victoria University of Wellington

Take your understanding of film to the next level and explore your area of interest in greater detail. From film authorship and aesthetics to 3D cinema and the relationship between film and tourism, carry out independent research and further develop your abilities to think critically and communicate effectively. Postgraduate study in Film gives you the opportunity to pursue your passion for cinema at an advanced level. You can explore your interests in detail while working with our dynamic researchers to complete a Master of Arts or PhD by thesis (which may include a creative project). If you want to move into the film industry you can apply for the Master of Fine Arts (Creative Practice). This unique one-year qualification is designed to prepare you for work in the film industry as an independent contractor. At Victoria's School of English, Film, Theatre, and Media Studies you'll learn from and work with highly regarded academics who are innovative and published researchers.You'll need to complete 120 points over one year, or if studying part time, over a maximum of four years. At Honours level your learning will be more self-directed. You'll have the opportunity to do a 30-point research project and this will include designing, undertaking and reporting on a research project under supervision. As an Honours student you'll be in smaller classes and will be able to build closer relationships with academic staff. If you want to continue studying at an advanced level and have at least a B average in your Bachelor's degree for the subject you intend to study (or a B average for some subjects), then you can do a BA(Hons).
