Course summary

  • Learn from an experienced and enthusiastic team of tutors with a wide range of expertise
  • Tailor a programme to your interests from a diverse range of writers and movements
  • Explore the richness of English literature alongside global cinema, gaining the critical skills and cultural awareness valued by employers
If you are a fan of the types of novels and films that have stood the test of time and how the two relate, then this course is made for you. In our English Literature and Film degree you consider the disciplinary differences of literature and film as well as their interdependence, as many films begin as screenplays and many novels have been adapted for the big screen. The programme draws on the research interests and expertise of staff with subject-specific and strong interdisciplinary backgrounds. You develop sophisticated skills in analysis, expression, argumentation and presentation, all of which are preparatory to success in future employment, whether you want to be a screenwriter, novelist or director. You will become familiar with the theoretical concepts and methodological skills needed to analyse film and literary texts in historical, cultural, political and social contexts. The three-year programme aims to encourage a critical and questioning attitude towards the material studied and the methods of study adopted. Talented and committed staff guide an interactive learning experience based in an exciting cultural city. While lectures are an important part of teaching, so too is film viewing, reading, independent research and a range of other learning practices. In Year 1, you develop critical approaches and key skills through core modules including Studying English Literature; Critical Theory; Film Form, Narrative and History. In Year 2, you learn about literary adaptations and approaches to film with core modules including Romanticism and Modern to Postmodern. In addition you have optional modules such as Hollywood and British and European Cinema. In Year 3, you choose optional modules in both Film and English Literature modules in subjects such as Consuming Pleasures, Animation and Gothic and Horror Film. You will also also research and write a dissertation. A degree in English Literature and Film opens many doors. You acquire a range of highly transferable qualities that are valued by employers, including analytical thinking, evaluative and research skills, self-discipline, and effective written and spoken communication, as well as an ability to apply knowledge of a wide range of theoretical concepts to practical scenarios.
