Studying English and Film Studies at the University of Exeter opens a world of possibilities. In English, you will be introduced to over 1,500 years of the written word; epic medieval poetry, the colourful, turbulent era of Renaissance and Revolution, through to contemporary authors who have been instrumental in defining the modernist literary movement. Whilst in Film, world-leading academics will guide you on a journey of discovery; to understand how and why cinema developed and the way in which film is evolving today. Immerse yourself in the film culture of Hollywood, European Film Noir and independent cinema from around the world to get to know this powerful and dynamic medium. Exeter is one of the top 100 universities to study English in the world and ranked 2nd for Film in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019. We were rated gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) and within the English department our staff’s expertise spans the entire academic landscape, with specialist knowledge in film studies and creative writing. As a student here, you will gain access to our Special Collections and Digital Humanities Lab, unique Bill Douglas Cinema which holds more than 70,000 film related artefacts and take advantage of our research power in English, which ranks 4th highest in the UK. The supportive teaching style will give you the skills required to critically analyse texts, draw informed comparisons and challenge theories with confidence. From a vibrant city centre location, with coast and countryside on your doorstep, you will hone your investigative skills to become an accomplished independent researcher and through exploration of literary greats, will define your own writing style. In Film, you will become adept at using specialised industry language and skilled at analysing a wide variety of visual art forms. Looking beyond the South West of England, the Employment Experience and Employment Experience Abroad programme will help to broaden your studies. You will spend your third year with an employer, within a sector of your choice. A work placement will dramatically boost your confidence, enhance your CV and develop graduate level skills and competencies that employers are looking for. If working abroad, you may have also gained knowledge of another language, ideal if you wish to embark upon an international career path. At the end of the three-year course, you will graduate with a range of transferable skills that will leave you well positioned for a range of humanities jobs or roles with the film industry. Recent graduates are now working as Film Makers, Production Runners and PR Consultants for organisations such as Bath Spa University, Freemantle Media and Sugar Films and we’re proud to say that 95% of our graduates are in employment or further study six month after graduation.
