This degree programme is designed for students interested in the multiple ways in which human expression, articulation and culture are encoded in different forms and media. It aims to equip students with the precise knowledge, history and critical vocabulary specific to each discrete discipline, but also to foster the ability to understand the complex and fascinating relationships between literature, drama and film/media by a focus on forms, genres, styles, themes and ideas as expressed across the full range of Anglophone cultural outputs. We educate students in the history of literary, dramatic, media and cultural production, in current theoretical methods and approaches, and in a wide range of historical and national literatures, genres and media. A focus on excellent reading, writing and presentation skills, along with the development of the capacity to argue and contextualise will be fostered via a range of teaching formats (lecture, tutorial, seminar, research supervision), and through strong support of peer learning within the English, Drama, Film degree cohort. We promote our core values – independence, creativity, collaboration, critical reflection, cultural engagement, and social and political consciousness – as we deepen and widen students’ knowledge, engage them in critical debate, and interpretation, foster independent thought, creativity and the capacity to find innovative solutions to key critical, ethical and interpretive problems.
Students are pre-registered to 8 core modules (40 credits). Students should then choose 3 modules (15 credits) from the Option Modules list and 1 elective module (5 credits).
It is recommended that students spread their credit workload evenly between Autumn and Spring.
Students will be pre-registered to 6 core modules, 3 in the Autumn trimester and 3 in the Spring trimester. Students must choose a minimum of 2 Film Studies option modules, a minimum of 2 further option modules, and up to 2 general elective modules
For both Trimesters 1 & 2, students who are not away on either an Internship or Erasmus placements will make up their credit allocation (50-60 credits Option and/or 5-10 credits Elective) by choosing from the current Stage 3 modules offered by the School of English, Drama and Film. Any students on a trimester exchange or internship in stage 3 should choose 30 credits (25 options & 5 elective or 30 options) for one trimester.
Students should register to the two core modules EDF30020 Dissertation Research Methods (5 credits), EDF30010 Dissertation Project (20 credits) and ENG3xxxx Core Cohort Project Modules (10 credits) to give 35 credits. Students will make up the remaining 25 credits for the year by choosing modules from the suite of Stage 3 modules listed in the table, may include 1 Elective (5 credits) modules. It is up to the individual students as to how they balance their workloads in terms of obtaining 60 credits over both trimesters (autumn and spring); the best recommendation would be to take one 10 credit modules and one 5 credit module in the autumn trimester, and one 10 credit module in the spring trimester.
