Why this programme
- You will be studying in Glasgow, one of the leading media cities in the UK, and be based at our Gilmorehill Centre, with its own cinema as well as extensive collection of audiovisual and digital resources.
- The Gilmorehill Centre is home to the international journal Screen and hosts the annual Screen conference every summer, attracting leading names in film and television studies from across the world.
- The Masters is particularly relevant as preparation for further postgraduate research in film and television. In addition it facilitates contact and critical engagement with film, television and creative arts organisations in Glasgow, through site visits and guest speakers.
- The programme is forward-thinking in its approach to issues of equality, diversity and inclusivity. It recognises the inequalities that have developed within film and television studies and offers a curriculum designed to challenge the status quo.
- The programme is one of very few in the UK that places an equal emphasis on television.
- You will be able to socialise and collaborate with the Film Curation and Filmmaking and Media Arts students who are also taught out of the Gilmorehill Centre.
Programme structure
This programme will encourage advanced level study of specific aspects of film and television, via the exploration of research strategies appropriate to the two mediums.

Beatrix Whistler and James McNeill Whistler Scholarship
The Beatrix Whistler and James McNeill Whistler Scholarships originate with an important collection of works by Whistler gifted by Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip to the University in 1935. Since then, and thanks to further gifts and acquisitions, the Hunterian has come to hold one of the two leading collections of Whistler’s work in the world and History of Art (SCCA) has become an international centre of expertise for the study of Whistler and his 19th century world.
At her death in 1958, Miss Birnie Philip, Whistler’s heir and executrix, bequeathed the remainder of her art collection to the University, together with part of her residual estate for the purpose of establishing a scholarship scheme for students engaged in any branch of learning within the College of Arts & Humanities. In 2019, the Whistler scholarships scheme was revised in acknowledgement of the continuing links between Miss Birnie Philip’s 1958 bequest of artworks and her wish to support student learning at the University.
The Whistler Scholarships are open to students in all disciplines of the College of Arts & Humanities. The award committee is willing to consider both individual applications AND joint applications (from up to THREE students). Innovative interdisciplinary work is particularly encouraged. However, students may only involve themselves in the submission of ONE application (individual OR joint).
The Whistler Scholarships cover travel, accommodation and subsistence expenses ONLY.
