Documentary

Course Overview

Offered by Manchester Metropolitan University, the MA Documentary provides a comprehensive postgraduate education in media and communication. Based in Manchester, England, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 1-year full-time and part-time structure. Documentary has had a renaissance during the past few years, which has manifested in its box-office success at the cinema and the expanding ways in which it is being developed for a variety of media and platforms. This course responds to these changes by offering a creative and experimental approach to documentary that goes beyond the traditional. No longer just the domain of television and cinema, the documentary form has also become integral to internet content, advertising and art installations, all of which have radically changed the boundaries that define the genre. A minimum ielts score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 96% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £19,500 within three years, a 90% continuation rate, and 70% of graduates in employment or further study.
