Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - English Literature and Film and Visual Culture (F167)

In English Literature program, students will read a wide variety of texts from medieval period to the present day. They will encounter new ways of looking at literature by not only studying texts on campus but also going on various field trips.

During students' three years of study, they will gain a sound grasp of the contexts and approaches within which English literature can be studied, as well as gaining a sense of developments across periods of English literature. Students also develop a critical appreciation of the ways in which knowledge of other disciplines and their relationships to English literature can contribute to a deeper understanding of literary texts.

Film and Visual Culture is an intellectually stimulating degree that combines practice and theory, giving students the opportunity to both create and analyze a range of cultural texts - from fiction film and documentary, to photography and animation.

This degree is underpinned by creative and critical practice. It is creative because it gives students the opportunity to develop practical skills in the fields of screenwriting, filmmaking (drama and documentary), photography and animation. It is critical because it involves the in-depth study of film history and theory, including the way in which cinema intersects with a range of social and political issues. Students will graduate with a degree underpinned by academic rigor, but with the transferable skills needed to pursue a wide variety of careers in the creative industries.
