The MPhil in Finance and Economics is a one-year master's degree that runs from early October to late June with a preparatory course during September. It is an intensive course combining advanced study and research, tailored for people with one year or less of work experience who intend to go on to work for the industry. It places particular emphasis on economic coverage of financial themes, beginning from the institutional background, moving on to careful consideration of how observed institutions should be modelled, and ending by relating existing models to data and discussing how these models should be improved when they do not fit the data.

The MPhil in Finance is an intensive, research-focused, and advanced degree. The programme is distinctive because the electives are drawn from three Cambridge faculties – the Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Mathematics, and Cambridge Judge Business School. The programme is particularly suitable for those intending to continue to a PhD at Cambridge or elsewhere. The programme also provides a strong academic background for those opting for a career in finance, but it is not designed to be a vocational programme. In the past few years, our graduates have been admitted into PhD programmes in finance and accounting at MIT, LBS, and Cambridge. Students have two options: nine taught modules, or six taught modules and a dissertation of 12,000 words.

Combining advanced study and research, this programme is designed for students who wish to extend their knowledge of finance or financial engineering. The programme provides research-led teaching and is particularly suitable for those intending to continue to a PhD. The degree also provides a strong academic background for those aiming for a career in finance.

This MPhil by Thesis provides an opportunity to study the theory and history of film and other screen media in a vibrant interdisciplinary context. The moving image is explored in relation to the development of modern and contemporary culture, as well as the history and theory of other media (literature, music, the visual arts, architecture, and the digital). Students are immersed in a research environment that emphasises work on geopolitics, early cinema, art cinema and the avant-garde, theory, aesthetics, and gender and sexuality.

The MPhil by Thesis is for students who already have a substantial level of familiarity with the study of film and literary texts in the relevant culture and who already know the area they wish to research for their thesis. To be eligible for consideration, applicants will need an appropriate level of linguistic and/or cultural expertise and a clear idea of the area in which the thesis will be written.

The full-time course runs from October to June, with a submission date of early June.

It is also possible to take a part-time route. The expected timeframe would be 20 months, with a thesis submission date of early June in the second academic year of study.

The main aims of the course are:

• to develop and test the ability to carry out a substantial advanced project of independent research in an area of film and screen studies, presented in the form of a 30,000-word thesis

• to develop and test the ability to make a significant contribution to learning via dedicated Masters-level research that reflects the course length

The Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics (MMLL) offers this MPhil as a nine-month full-time programme and introduces students to research skills and specialist knowledge. The programme provides advanced training in the study of the theory and history of film and other screen media in a vibrant interdisciplinary context. The moving image is explored in relation to the development of modern and contemporary culture, as well as the history and theory of other media (literature, music, the visual arts, architecture, and the digital). Students are immersed in a research environment that emphasises work on geopolitics, early cinema, art cinema and the avant-garde, theory, aesthetics, and gender and sexuality.

The course aims:

• to give students with relevant experience at a first-degree level the opportunity to develop a historically and theoretically informed approach to the study of screen media in their cultural contexts, both in taught classes and through closely supervised individual research

• to give students the opportunity to develop a distinctive interdisciplinary approach to the study of film and screen by exposure to the different kinds of enquiry undertaken in a variety of disciplines

• to give students the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests

• to provide foundations for continuation to PhD research in film and screen studies.

These aims are achieved by:

• giving students the experience and guidance necessary for them to be able to formulate a feasible research proposal and to prepare for submitting written work based on such a proposal to a clearly defined timetable

• providing a broad foundation for the proper understanding of the issues which have shaped a given field of study, and thus for a critical assessment of existing scholarship

• encouraging students to develop insights which might form the basis of an original contribution to that field of study

• developing students' competence in bibliographical method (including the use of computer technology)

• giving students the experience of attending and contributing to a postgraduate research seminar, particularly presenting their own work and discussing the issues that arise from it with an audience of senior and junior members of the participating departments and faculties

In addition to these subject-specific skills, the following general transferable skills are also acquired:

• The relatively intense MPhil timetable demands that students develop exemplary time-management skills. They work in collaboration with their supervisors to devise appropriate plans of study and ensure that they meet all formal and informal deadlines.

• Students are expected to make regular presentations in seminar situations. This develops their oral presentation skills.

Written work is assessed on the basis of a demonstration of scholarly research and critical analysis. That is, students are expected to present a lucid, coherent and carefully substantiated exposition of a critical viewpoint. Writing must be clear, grammatically correct, and have continuous prose. It must function as a single, comprehensible, persuasive, cumulative demonstration, not as a series of disconnected insights. The organisation of the argument of the essay or dissertation and its prose style are crucial.

The University of Cambridge offers the opportunity to pursue doctoral study in a specifically designated programme in Film and Screen Studies situated in the University's rich interdisciplinary research culture. Students on the programme join the vibrant Centre for Film and Screen and participate in our annual research seminar series. Opportunities to teach undergraduate film studies courses are made available to PhD students from their second year onwards. Students also take leading roles in organising research events, including an annual postgraduate conference.

In British universities, the PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is traditionally awarded solely on the basis of a thesis, a substantial piece of writing that reports original research into a closely defined area of enquiry. Completing the PhD thesis is generally expected to take three to four years. It's also possible to take a part-time route, with an expected timeframe of four to seven years.

During their research, students will have the opportunity to work closely with a Supervisor who is a specialist in their research area. In addition to the Supervisor, students will also be able to draw on the help and support of one other lecturer, who will form part of the supervisory team.

In addition to providing specialist supervision, the Faculty runs a programme of professional training for the benefit of all research students. The programme includes seminars and workshops on giving conference papers, publishing academic work, developing teaching skills, and acquiring specialist linguistics training. The University also runs a central development programme covering a range of topics, from doctoral skills training to language training. Students can also lead small group teaching sessions for Cambridge Colleges if they wish. At the Faculty level, they may also have opportunities to gain experience in language teaching.

Will be available on the CJBS website.

The programme aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge to contribute critically and constructively to cross-disciplinary research on AI, data and algorithms and their ethical and societal implications. It introduces students from diverse backgrounds to relevant research skills and specialist knowledge from a range of academic disciplines, and provides them with the opportunity to carry out focused research under close supervision by domain experts at the University.
