Film: International Business MA

MA Film at Arts University Bournemouth is designed as academically robust and industry-aware, with two complementary named awards: <strong>International Business</strong> and <strong>Film and Screen Studies</strong>.<br/><br/>Within the International Business pathway, the course aims to develop and strengthen your understanding across global film markets, distribution, sales, audience strategy and policy. Meanwhile, the Film and Screen Studies pathway will support research-led scholarship and practice-based inquiry through essay film, audiovisual criticism and critical/creative methodologies.<br/><br/>The course integrates deeply with Bournemouth Film School (BFS)’s production ecosystem, enabling you to develop your professional literacy in production workflows, creative development processes, and industry-standard pipelines, including areas that intersect with animation and visual effects. This reflects contemporary screen-sector convergence, where film, animation, and mixed-media storytelling share production, rights and IP frameworks.<br/><br/>The course follows a unique dual-campus model, between AUBs own campus in Bournemouth and the Universitys London Hub, offering meaningful industry engagement. Youll benefit from core teaching and research support in Bournemouth, and concentrated business and industry-facing activity in London. This structure gives you access to production facilities, archives, screenings, galleries, film festivals, specialist industry organisations and cultural venues.
