Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - Film Studies and English Literature

UEA's film, television, and media academics are celebrated in their field, and the university is home to the renowned School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing. The degree in Film Studies and English Literature will combine classes from both of these vibrant and welcoming centres of learning, and it offers flexibility to study across form and genre,  also giving students opportunities to practice creative writing if they choose. 

This degree covers the history of film and television from its earliest days to the present, and explores literature from the Middle Ages to modern times, from England to Europe and the wider world. From Shakespeare to the Marvel film adaptations, this is a degree that truly expands storytelling horizons and inspires learning. Along the way, students will sharpen their critical powers, and gain the graduate skills they will need for future career success. 

Make use of UEA's outstanding facilities, valuable partnerships, and local opportunities. UEA is home to the sector-leading East Anglian Film Archive – a unique resource that students might use in shaping their own Final Year dissertation, for example. The school also has close links with the British Film Institute in London and the Norwich Film Festival. Meanwhile, students will be studying in a region that is a dynamic centre of the media industries, and home to local production companies. 

Students will develop many transferable skills on this degree course, including high-level research and communication skills, team working, leadership, and self-management. These desirable transferable skills will open doors to a wide variety of careers, whether you want to become a writer, producer, or director in the film industry, or explore other occupations in marketing, advertising, the charity sector, and more besides. In the past, graduates have gone on to achieve success as film industry executives, producers, media managers, creative directors, or found work in film heritage, for example.
