MA (Honours) Liberal Arts with Film and Television Studies - MA (Hons)

University of Glasgow

This programme offers a fresh approach to developing academic skills within the arts and humanities, featuring a flexible and interdisciplinary degree structure that allows you to study more than one subject in a meaningful and connected way. You will gain a broad understanding of major global issues, including those related to the environment and social justice, while also developing an awareness of the importance of civic engagement. This is a Single Honours programme.
