English and Film with a Year Abroad BA (Hons)

About

English and film studies are made for each other. Studying film will teach you the theory and practical skills of production. Meanwhile, exploring English will give you a chance to study a global subject that influences writing and performance all over the world.

Our top-ten rated film department, conveniently located in London, is on the doorstep of major film studios, post-production houses, and the sought-after resources of the BFI. You’ll get insight into all aspects of films by looking at the theory that drives this craft.

Home to experts in both areas
While studying English you’ll benefit from the expertise of 40 academics who are either world experts or rising stars – you might have already come across them on the radio or TV. The topics they cover are varied and inclusive, spanning the whole history of writing in English and a wide geography from the East End of London to India.

Achieve your career goals with the support of our specialised careers service. You could be joining our graduates as directors, screenwriters, cinematographers or editors. Or perhaps you see yourself applying your skills in the world of publishing and journalism.
