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. For the MA in Animation you will need a BA in Animation or an equivalent.

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 standard duration of studies is 4 semesters but it can be extended to 8. You should be able to take part in our courses on three days of the week at least to study part time.

Eligible courses

Eligible Courses in the Transfer-, Fach- and Exchangemodul of MA Film

The programme of the MA Film has elective courses in the Transfermodule (TM), the Fachmodule (FM) and the Exchangemodule (EM). Some courses we offer are clustered into "tracks" and can be enrolled in as a whole.

Students choose those tracks to specialize in their studies in a certain field (Film Financing (TM); Self-Marketing (TM); Expanded Cinema (FM)). The Fachmodule and the Exchangemodule have a list of free eligible courses from which to choose the necessary number of units to pass the module. Those courses are provided by the MA Film and partly by other study programmes of the Lucerne University of Arts.

Transfermodule

Business tracks

The students of the MA Film have to choose one of two "business tracks" in their first semester of the Transfermodule. The choice is made according to the goal for their master thesis.

Track Film Financing

In the Film Financing Track, students will develop the "Film Dossier" for their master project. The dossier is needed for the financing of the film in the Swiss system of film funding. It is the basis for the cooperation with a production company. The student will develop the final version of the Film Dossier with the company she*he works with and it will be handed in to the funding bodies by this third party company. The following three courses/days are part of this track:

  • Filmdossier-Course and Coaching (link)
  • Film-Production (link)
  • Producer's day: Meet the Producers (link)
Track Film Financing

The self Marketing Track provides the basic knowledge for students who plan to start their own company, work as freelancer, as an artist or apply for jobs in the field of our studies. It gives information about alternative ways of funding in the arts and culture as well as a foundation of business-principles if you start your own business.
