This degree allows you to indulge in your love of a good story whether in print or in film. If you love a good story, whether in print or in film, Leeds Trinity University can give you the opportunity to indulge your passions on our Joint Honours undergraduate degree in English and Film Studies. Stories focus on things people care about (love, drama, protest, hope). Stories also have to be constructed with care to make sure they strike the right note with their audience. Each story told features issues we can explore about important human themes, individual identity or social and political patterns of behaviour. But, stories also need to be planned,crafted, funded, produced and distributed. A writer needs to identify and treat those human themes in ways that will grab the attention and stimulate interest. The stories we find interesting tell us a lot about ourselves and analysing or creating stories helps us sort out what our values are and what stance we take with the world. The English and Film Studies programme is about learning how we can make sense of stories with a professional eye and how we can start using that knowledge to improve our own creative work.

Graduates gain employment within playwriting, scriptwriting, teaching, marketing, PR, copywriting, publishing and journalism. Graduates also continue into postgraduate level study.
