The MA in Contemporary Art and the Moving Image merges the expertise in film studies and critical theory from the Film Studies department at King’s College London with the specialised knowledge in modern and contemporary art history at The Courtauld Institute of Art. Students will be taught by a unique combination of specialist staff across the two institutions, covering time-based media, new media, and artists’ film and video from a number of different disciplinary and geographical contexts. The MA Contemporary Art and the Moving Image is taught in the heart of London, within easy reach of BFI Southbank (and the BFI Library), Tate Britain and Tate Modern, the Institute of Contemporary Art and Hayward Gallery.
