Talk to a counsellorFrom the written word to the silver screen, this joint honours course explores the middle ground between two of the world’s most important storytelling forms. This joint honours is a fascinating combination of English literature, with its centuries-old roots, and the relative modernity of the art of the moving image. Taught by our staff of internationally renowned writers and critics in a friendly, supportive and intellectually challenging environment, you’ll study literature in all its major forms – prose, poetry, drama – from the Renaissance onwards. The film modules are grounded in close textual interpretation and the analysis of style, genre, historical context and the politics of representation. As such, you’ll focus on key film genres, key directors, numerous film movements and national cinemas. With the sheer power, reach, longevity and endurance of American filmmaking over the last 120 years, much of the study of film focuses on ‘Hollywood’ style cinema, but you’ll also look at less commercial film-making from around the globe, challenging and pushing the medium to its limits. You will have opportunities to study abroad and, if you wish, to do your third year as a placement - in Britain or abroad. And in your final year, youll get a chance to spread your wings with a substantial piece of project work that presents a thesis, building on the skills youve been developing over previous years. Our lively department is staffed by internationally renowned writers and critics, and theres a strong research culture, creating a learning environment that is both supportive and intellectually challenging. Manchester is a creative hub, with one of the biggest creative sectors in the UK, and along with our extensive cultural links both in the city and further afield, you’ll be ideally placed to begin building a creative network for the future. This course has a Foundation Year available.
