This course combines two complimentary disciplines and will give you the opportunity to explore the similarities and differences between them. Your English learning will take you on a chronological journey from the beginnings of the English language right up to the twenty-first century, exploring the work of those who have the most prodigious effect on English literature and language. Film Studies modules will teach you the various methods of critical analysis that can be applied to film and the practical elements of producing films. In first year you will acquire foundation knowledge in both English and Film Studies. You will learn about the most popular modes of literature and the predominant styles in film. In second year during your film modules you will explore national and transnational cinemas, and work in groups to create your own short video. You will add a new dimension to your English education by studying the critical theories that have developed in response to literature and provide possible explanations of our relationship with art. During your third year you will have the chance to research, and write a dissertation on, an area of English or Film Studies that most fascinates you. The rest of your learning will be entirely decided by you. A wide range of option modules will allow you to tailor your degree according to your interests and our expertise.
