BA Hons English and Film Studies

Presenting representations of fictional and nonfictional worlds, revealing gripping stories of right and wrong, and asking questions about what society expects of men and women, this degree combines a passion for language and literature with the study of the devices, structures, embedded values and theories of film and cinema. You will develop written and oral fluency, independent thinking and self-expression, stimulated by an impressive array of specialist modules examining the form and use of spoken and written English and exploring a variety of literary periods and genres. The programme will also immerse you the culture, history and development of one of the most powerfully influential media forms to emerge in the twentieth century, enhancing your understanding of film from basic approaches to highly sophisticated interpretative and analytical strategies.
