Studying film, we’ll look at a wide range of cinematic forms. From popular cinema through to challenging avant-garde works, you’ll be able to study a rich and varied selection of genres. We’ll also look at topics like national cinemas, and the work of individual filmmakers. You could look at adaptation, and how great works of literature are adapted to the big screen. Screenwriting, music and performance are all also part of the curriculum. As part of the wide mix of skills you’ll learn, we also give you a chance to try your hand at filmmaking. If you choose one of our documentary filmmaking modules you could get behind the camera and start exploring.

With English literature, we’ll encourage you to develop a broad knowledge of the best writing from this nation and further afield. You'll gain insights into major cinematic genres such as fantasy, suspense, horror, and drama, and acquire skills in digital media and screenwriting that will prepare you for a range of creative professions.
