ABOUT
What you will study
Our programme is primarily practice-oriented, backed up with a relevant and robust contextual framework. The programme is 12 months long, split across two semesters and the University’s summer period.
Semester 1 includes a set of focused workshops designed not only to consolidate existing practical skills in script development, film production, animation, CG and VFX; but also, to bring you rapidly up to speed in less familiar areas such as virtual production, game engines, and digital cinematography. These are accompanied by a thorough grounding in contemporary moving image theory and practice. You will then work on a collaborative, multidisciplinary production project, which provides a great opportunity to work together in a small team on an exciting creative brief.
During Semester 2 you will develop a creative specification for your final masters project. Alongside this, specialist workshops and tutorials are offered to equip you with any specific techniques you might need. Theory lectures and seminars are provided on special topics from leading researchers active in their field. Some of these are shared with, and sometimes delivered by, our active PhD cohort.
During the University’s summer period, you will complete your final masters project, with regular supervision and mentoring provided by the Department’s academics, industry based visiting tutors and associates.
Careers and graduate prospects
We offer careers information, advice and guidance to all students whilst studying with us, which is extended to our alumni for three years after leaving the University. Our graduates have lifetime access to Surrey Pathfinder, our online portal for appointment and events bookings, jobs, placements and interactive development tools.
The programme will provide you with an accelerated career path into numerous areas of the film, television and interactive media sectors, equipping you with sought after skills and experience in these exciting fields. On successful completion of the course, your creative aptitude will be matched by technical acuity in whichever areas you have chosen to specialise.
The programme also provides a valuable springboard for extended postgraduate research on our own PhD programme or indeed should you choose to pursue your research elsewhere.
Academic year structure
We deliver our provision across three semesters, each carrying 60 credits worth of teaching modules. A theory strand runs through Semesters 1 and 2, with students having the option to fuse theory and practice as ‘praxis’ during their final masters project in Semester 3.
Modules
Modules listed are indicative, reflecting the information available at the time of publication. Please note that modules may be subject to teaching availability, student demand and/or class size caps.
The University operates a credit framework for all taught programmes based on a 15-credit tariff. Modules can be either 15, 30, 45, 75 and 120 credits, and additionally for some masters dissertations, 90 credits.
Timetable
Course timetables are normally available one month before the start of the semester. Please note that while we make every effort to ensure that timetables are as student-friendly as possible, scheduled teaching can take place on any day of the week (Monday – Friday). Wednesday afternoons are normally reserved for sports and cultural activities. Part-time classes are normally scheduled on one or two days per week, details of which can be obtained from the Academic Hive.
Entry requirements
A minimum 2:2 UK undergraduate degree (or international equivalent) usually, but not necessarily, in a relevant subject area.
Applicants are required to submit a portfolio of relevant work. Portfolio material usually consists of a showreel or a selection of your best work in the media and formats in which you have previously worked. Depending on the extent to which you have specialised, this could include examples of film, animation, 3D modelling, VFX, motion graphics, illustration, creative photography, scriptwriting, digital artworks, painting, sculpture, set design, live theatre work, installation, or indeed any other creative work which you feel demonstrates relevant skills and creativities.
In addition, please include a brief description of the type of project you would like to undertake on the MA. This just helps us to understand your interests and likely requirements – it will not commit you to a particular project at this stage.
We may be able to take relevant work experience into consideration if you don’t meet the typical entry requirements. You are welcome to contact the Programme Director to discuss your suitability for the programme prior to submitting an application.

Furthermore, the applicants will pay about 158 pounds per week during their study period. However, it depends on the room choices that they have.

The international students must pay £363 for visa application and the same amount per each dependent who wants to come with them to the UK. Also, the students must refer to their visas to find out whether they can work while studying in this country or not. Overall, the University of Surrey recommends the students to focus on their studies and use the scholarships or funds to cover their study or a part of their living expenses in the UK.
