The course can also open up some career paths outside of landscape architecture. You could move into landscape conservation and garden design history.

Our course provides specialist skills and knowledge about the most important issues related to the sustainability of agricultural production and food security.

This master's in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security is suitable if you have an interest in sustainable agriculture and food security and want to develop a broad knowledge of the subject.

Sustainable agriculture and food security focuses on the availability of food now and in the future. This is a major concern of scientific and commercial communities world-wide.

The prominence of this subject is driven by:

• An increasing global population
• Pressure on non-renewable or scarce resources
• A need to increase food production whilst minimising the impact on the environment

The Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security master's covers all aspects of food security as outlined by Global Food Security. The Global Food Security is a multi-agency programme involving the main UK public sector funders of research and training related to food.

Industry experienced and research-active lecturers teach on this course.

The Film: Theory and Practice MA will give you a sophisticated understanding of films as systems of meaning and practice.

This master's in Film Theory and Practice covers four areas:

• Film theory: history and approaches, narrative and aesthetics, authorship, stardom, national cinema
• Cinema management: film festival, exhibition culture, marketing
• Filmmaking
• Screenwriting

You can specialise in areas of film theory, and/or in film practice. Film practice includes cinema management, screenwriting and filmmaking.

This master's could be suitable for you if you're interested in:

• Advancing skills developed at undergraduate-level
• Developing the skills needed to pursue a career in the creative industries
• Establishing the foundations for a PhD in film

It will challenge and engage you in developing insights into film as a crux of modern life and media.

This course is co-delivered by researchers and filmmakers from the:

• School of Modern Languages
• School of Arts and Cultures
• School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics

The study of film has a long history at Newcastle. Our community of film scholars share specialisms in:

• Film genre
• Film stardom
• Gender and ethnic identities in cinema
• Writing on film
• Documentary film

Our research interests also range widely in Anglophone, French, Hispanic, East Asian and Middle Eastern cinemas.

Industry professionals and practitioners from outside of the University will also teach you.

This degree engages you in the processes involved in the production of the urban spaces that shape our cities, from the design of buildings and urban spaces to the consideration of urban issues.

You’ll be inspired by the work of innovative architects and planners whose approach aims to encourage people to actively participate in the design of their environment.

You will study a range of modules spanning our expertise in architecture, urban design, social and political theory. You'll also select from modules in history and sociology, urban planning and informal housing and development, and social enterprise, economics and business.

Your understanding of how architecture and cities can be developed will be supported through design projects, historical examples and theoretical ideas.
