Understanding the interplay between the written word and the moving image is key to our world.

 

Combining the study of Film and English will allow you to explore texts you love, as you learn how to analyse and tell stories in written and visual form.

 

You’ll be taught and supported by enthusiastic, internationally renowned professors, researchers, and media practitioners and you’ll work in industry-standard production facilities, as part of the Yorkshire Film and Television School.

 

Why study Film Studies and English Literature BA(Hons)

You’ll benefit from a wide variety of teaching formats, which alongside lectures, seminars, and workshops, include newsdays, work-based learning and placements, project work, dissertations, one-on-one and group supervision, and digital learning.

 

Developing creative, technical, and analytical skills, you’ll also work on your ability to analyse, research and write persuasively about a rich variety of films, shows and filmmakers. These include the latest superhero blockbusters through to indie movies and YouTube releases.

 

As part of the wide mix of skills you'll gain, you'll also get the chance to improve your writing and develop abilities in video and audio production.

 

With English Literature, we'll encourage you to develop a broad knowledge of writing, from today’s experimental fiction or contemporary poetry to Victorian novels or Elizabethan plays. You'll gain insights into all the major literary genres and a range of periods from literary history, and you can try out screenwriting, or put your skills to work in real-world projects.
