Course summary

Our English and Film degree explores the richness of literature and film in their critical and creative contexts. You will learn about both art forms individually as well as examining the relationship between them. As part of your English modules, you will build your core skills in critical and creative thinking, equipping you with the tools you need to analyse a range of literary texts. You will also gain an appreciation of how literature reflects the social and historical contexts in which it was written. Alongside your study of literature, you will consider the cultural and creative impact of film. From exploring developments in American and British cinema, you will also have the opportunity to examine cinema from across Europe, Latin America, Asia, and beyond, evaluating the role of cinema as a major entertainment industry as well as thinking about film as a political and socio-cultural property practice along the way. You will:

  • Study a wide range of literature and film from around the world
  • Develop an understanding of the relationship between texts and their social and historical contexts
  • Discover how cinema has become a significant part of international culture
