You'll benefit from our world-leading expertise as you explore key writers and traditions in English literature and a global range of cinema. In your first year you’ll cover all the essentials of both fields of study. In your second and third years you’ll increasingly specialise in the areas you find most engaging.You’ll choose from creative practice options such as film production or scriptwriting and modules covering diverse topics from the Hollywood studio system to Gothic literature and Shakespeare's England to animation. Or you could look at the process of adapting literature for the screen, bringing your two degree subjects into dynamic dialogue.
