Course Overview

A joint honor in English Literature and Film Studies enables you to critically examine English Literature in some of its immensely varied contexts alongside developing analytical skills attuned to the diverse medium of film. Studying English Literature at Worcester allows you to develop skills in close and creative reading, theoretical concepts, and a critical awareness of the relationship between texts and their contexts. Film Studies at Worcester introduces you to a wide range of film genres and gives you the ability to understand how we interact, represent our ideas, and tell our stories through a visual medium.

Many English Literature graduates will progress to careers requiring good communication skills such as Public Relations or develop research careers with media or publishing companies. Throughout the English Literature degree, there is a focus on developing employability, including the opportunity to select a work project module and a credited work project module. Students are also strongly encouraged to take up the opportunity to study abroad for a semester.

Film Studies develop student skills in practice-as-research and research-as-practice for a number of culture and media industries including exhibition, distribution, audience-based marketing, journalism, film education, curating, programming, filmmaking, screenwriting, and further academic research.
