Master Film
Education
The standard period of study in the MA Film of the Lucerne University of Applied Science and Arts is 4 Semesters (2 years). This equals 120 ECTS. The maximal duration of the programme is 8 Semesters.
The programme has three specializations: Animation, Short Motion, and Interaction. The Students of all three specializations study together and chose from the same courses. Mentoring and coaching are individual and growing parts of the program are composed of eligible courses. We are specializing in storytelling and in documentary forms inside and outside the cinema. We do not specialize in live action films.
Modules
The Modules of the MA Film are explained on the Website of the Programme.
Lateral entrants/Career Jumpers
You have the possibility to study an MA Film as a lateral entrant (career jumper) with a bachelor (or equivalent) in a design-relevant topic (including social science, philological, historical and critical studies) and a strong portfolio of filmic work you have pursued.
Part-Time Studies
Due to the modular structure of our programme and the large extent of eligible content in our programme, we can offer highly individualized study paths for part-time students.
The following pages provide basic information about our courses for the students of the MA Film and give an overview of our staff and our activities for the visitors of this site.
Informations for Students
Eligible Courses in the MA Film
The programme of the MA Film can be put together individually by the students in some modules. Some parts of our teaching is clustered into Tracks. Students chose those tracks to specialize in their studies in a certain field (Film Financing; Self-Marketing; Expanded Cinema). The Fachmodule and the Exchangemodule have a list of free eligible courses from which the necessary number of units to pass the module can be generated. Those courses are both provided by the MA Film and partly from other study programmes of the Lucerne University of the Arts.
