Why is this course for me? If you have a passion for English and Film, this programme provides a unique opportunity for you to explore and acquire key interpretive skills in both the written and cinematic mediums. It also asks serious questions about how represen- tation, culture and politics work in literature and film. Media literacy is a vital 21st century skill and the cultivation of such literacy stands at the centre of this degree path. Students are encouraged to make connections between the literary and cinematic forms and in particular to acquire cultural literacy in both areas.
What will I study? In Film you will study early, classical and con- temporary cinema, read theoretical and histori- cal accounts from media studies and adjacent disciplines, and build an awareness of film in its social and cultural contexts. In English you will take courses on the key
periods and traditions of writing in English, and develop your interests in one (or more) of the key areas offered by the School, e.g. Medieval, Renaissance, Victorian or Modern Literature, or Anglo-Irish, Post-colonial or American writing.
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities Combining English and Film will give you a range of experience and skills that will equip you both for further study and for career paths in:
A Teaching A Publishing A Journalism A Archive and library work A Arts administration
Our graduates have worked for film organisa- tions including the Irish Film Festival, Film Base and film festivals around the world, as well as having pursued other activities related to film-making. Graduate study opportunities include MA
degree programmes in specialised areas of literary and film studies.
