Course Details

BA (Hons) Comparative Literature and Film Studies

Course Description

This degree programme is split equally between the two subjects and helps you make theoretically informed connections between literature and fine art, music, popular culture and film. You study literature from a comparative perspective, exploring themes, genres, movements and periods across national boundaries through translations and original texts in English. The film programme covers the aesthetics, conditions of production and history of film in the United States, Latin America and the major European nations, and introduces you to major theoretical and critical developments in film studies. Advanced options in the second and final years permit you to concentrate on the aspects of literature and film that interest you the most, while a research project allows you to bring the two disciplines together.
