    Course information

    Teaching on the Multimedia Journalism modules is delivered by experienced journalists with many years of practical experience and excellent links to major media players including newspapers, TV companies, radio stations and digital publishers in Manchester and beyond. This ensures that what is learned on the course is informed by the very latest trends and developments in the media. You will also hear about the experiences and insights of working journalists, digital publishers and broadcasters who will give regular talks and run workshops.

    The English modules take a comparative and contemporary approach to the study of literature and focus on the major genres of drama, prose, fiction and poetry. In historical terms our curriculum covers the seventeenth century to the present, with strong emphasis on the literature of the last two centuries. You will also have the opportunity to take modules in creative writing, film, television, and cultural studies, and to study literatures and cultures from the United States, Africa, the Indian subcontinent, the Caribbean, and elsewhere. You will learn strategies for reading and interpreting a wide range of literary and cultural texts, and the world around you. We pride ourselves on our excellent teaching, highly positive student feedback and strong research culture.
