Develop and hone your creative writing while building a breadth of film knowledge and analytical skills with our BA Creative Writing and Film course.

Taught jointly by the Department of English Literature and the Department of Film, Theatre and Television, on this course you will:

• explore your creative writing in small peer groups
• examine film in its various contexts: as popular entertainment, theoretical discipline and art form
• have the opportunity to develop your practical filmmaking skills.

Creative writing and film complement each other perfectly. Exploring cinematic material and analysing creative choices will support the development of your own creative writing. Optional practical work will enhance your ability to create compelling characters and narratives.
