The programme has three specializations: [https://www.hslu.ch/en/lucerne-school-of-art-and-design/degree-programmes/master/film/the-degree-programme/animation/ Animation], [https://www.hslu.ch/en/lucerne-school-of-art-and-design/degree-programmes/master/film/the-degree-programme/short-motion/ Short Motion], and [https://www.hslu.ch/en/lucerne-school-of-art-and-design/degree-programmes/master/film/the-degree-programme/interaktion/ 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.

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.

'''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.

|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:
 
* [[DK.MAAF Filmproduktionsdossier]]
 
* Film-Production (tba)
 
* Producer's day: Meet the Producers
 
|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.

== Fachmodule ==
 
The Fachmodul gives freedom to chose from a variety of courses to obtain the non-mandatory party of the module. It comprises a total of 12 Credit Points (CP) with semester modules A, B and C. Six of those are mandatory and 6 are eligible. Students are free to chose the eligible courses, but to give you a possible guideline for your choices we cluster some of these courses to our ''Expand Media Track.'' We encourage you to chose all courses in this track if you are interested in spatial filmic forms.
