>The University of Aberdeen is the 5th oldest 
>university in the English-speaking world and 
>features a handsome campus and excellent 
>facilities.  The Film & Visual Culture programme 
>at Aberdeen is unique in seeking to enable 
>students to explore the ways cinema can be 
>understood within the comparative perspectives 
>of Visual Culture. This interdisciplinary 
>approach is, however, underpinned in the first 
>two years of the undergraduate programme by a 
>rigorous introduction to the language and 
>history of cinema in its aesthetic, sociological 
>and philosophical dimensions. At Honours Level, 
>students have the opportunity to take production 
>courses alongside other modules which analyse 
>film in wider contexts. The related Masters 
>programme in Visual Culture offers a platform 
>for postgraduates to explore theoretical and 
>creative collaborations between subjects such as 
>Film, Art History, Modern Thought, Museum 
>Studies, Visual Anthropology, Scientific Imaging 
>practices, and New Media, and the Digital 
>Humanities.  The taught M.Litt reflects the 
>diverse interests of staff and students 
>participating in visual studies. It is divided 
>into two tracks: one designed to engage with 
>critical thinking (the history of art and film 
>criticism, theories of the visual, philosophies 
>of perception and New Media), the other 
>concentrating on creativity and media production.
>
>Our range of exciting forms of engagement with 
>the academy and the public include the 
>Directors Cut series of public talks, a number 
>of which have been transmitted on BBC Radio and 
>now in its fourth season:
