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.

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.
