Description:

Explore two of the greatest forms of storytelling in a degree that combines theory and practice. With increasing numbers of films being based on books instead of original screenplays, the relationship between films and literature has never been more important. On this degree you will explore this relationship through case studies like children’s literature, queer literature, and British and Hollywood cinemas, discovering key writers and traditions in English literature and a global range of cinema. UEA has been a pioneer and continues to lead in both film studies and English literature. You will be taught across both disciplines by world-leading academics and creative practitioners.

In your first year you will cover the essentials of both disciplines, before choosing specialist modules in your second and third years. You could select creative practice options such as film production or scriptwriting, and modules covering topics as diverse as the Hollywood studio system, animation, Gothic literature, and Shakespeare’s England, or look at the process of adapting literature for the screen, bringing your two degree subjects into dynamic dialogue.
