Master Cinema Et Audiovisuel

Tuition is 250 EUR per year.

Film and audiovisual studies form the basis of the Master Cinema Et Audiovisuel at Universite de Picardie Jules-Verne in Amiens, France, a two-year master's degree taught in French, with an intake beginning in September and yearly tuition of 250 EUR. This discipline examines cinema and audiovisual media from historical, theoretical, and practical angles, covering how films and audiovisual works are made, analyzed, and understood within their cultural context. Typical subjects include the history of cinema, film theory and analysis, screenwriting, production and post-production techniques, and the study of documentary and fiction forms. Students learn to analyze visual storytelling, editing rhythm, sound design, and cinematography, while also engaging with the economic and institutional structures of the film and audiovisual industries, including production financing, distribution, and broadcasting. Depending on the program's balance between theory and practice, students may undertake production projects alongside academic coursework, developing hands-on skills in areas such as camera work, editing software, or script development. Critical writing about film, whether for academic purposes or journalism, is another common thread, since the discipline values the ability to articulate structured analysis of audiovisual works. Graduates from cinema and audiovisual programs pursue varied paths, including roles in film and television production, editing, and script development, as well as positions in cultural institutions such as film festivals, archives, and cinematheques. Others move into film criticism and journalism, cultural mediation, or arts administration roles connected to audiovisual culture. Some continue toward doctoral research in film studies, contributing to academic scholarship on cinema history and theory, while others enter the broader media and communications sector, applying their analytical training to visual content production more generally.
