The Faculty of Arts of the University of Southampton,
UK,announces its new MA programme within the School of
Research and Graduate Studies.  Its interdisciplinary focus
combines academic rigour with the excitement of research
across the boundaries of traditional disciplines, and its core
course:option structure secures intellectual coherence for
each MA while allowing flexibility in the choice of
specialisms.
 
The MA (2 core units, 2 option units, 2 research skills units
and a dissertation) and Diploma (without dissertation) courses
may be followed full-time (over 1 year) or part-time (over two
years); UK students may seek funding under the British Academy
or ESRC studentship schemes, and in addition the Arts Faculty
offers a number of postgraduate bursaries for overseas
students as well as some postgraduate studentships.

Gender and Culture

FILM STUDIES
This MA equips students with a theoretical awareness of debates in Film
Studies, contextual knowledge of the world film industry, and the ability to
apply these issues to textual analysis.  A feature of the course is the weight
given to European cinema, though comparison with Hollywood also plays an
important role.
 
Applications for 1994 must be made by 15 September 1994 at the
latest, but earlier if possible, especially if seeking funding
(BA and ESRC deadline is 1 May 1994).  Further details of
