The School of Language and Literature at the University of Aberdeen is pleased to announce a fee-waiver scholarship from the Scottish Funding Council for its taught MLitt in Visual Culture in 2015/16. Engaging with a wide range of material, including film, photography and digital media, the MLitt introduces the key ideas and debates which have shaped understanding of visual culture during the twentieth and twenty first centuries. Two core courses provide a grounding in theoretical perspectives and critical skills. Optional modules allow students to explore visual culture in different historical and cultural contexts, and include a practice-based pathway. Core courses prepare students for their dissertation project, which allows for the sustained investigation of a topic identified by the student working in consultation with their supervisor.
To be considered for the SFC scholarship, applications must be received by 1 June 2015. The scholarship is open to applicants from Scotland and the EU (applicants from the rest of the UK are not eligible). More details of the SFC scholarship scheme can be found here.
MLitt students become associate members of GWW, Aberdeen’s Centre for Visual Culture. Details of the Centre and its activities can be found here.
Informal enquires about the programme can be made to the director, Professor Edward Welch (edward.welch@abdn.ac.uk).
