Course Description

Students wanting to study a combination of Film Studies and English Literature will develop skills and techniques to produce audio-visual material as well as essential key skills for many of the creative industries. You will study a range of literature from the medieval to the contemporary, while developing your individual interests. This course will equip you with a solid understanding in the theoretical, technical and practical skills making you a sought-after professional in these fields.

Central to this cross-disciplinary degree is the development of your understanding and awareness of the rich possibilities of film and literature when placed in dialogue. We help you to broaden your approach to the study of both forms by placing them within different historical and theoretical frameworks.

‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.

If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see Media Studies and Production (with Foundation Year) P31F.
