English and Media

This is a unique and exciting degree that combines the study of literature with media studies. Students will explore both literary and visual media, and gain insight into how it affects our daily lives. If you are passionate about literature and the media, then this degree is the perfect choice for you. Students in this course will analyse literature including poetry, drama, and fiction, alongside multiple forms of visual and popular culture. By doing so, they will engage with historical and contemporary traditions of writing, media, and critical thought.

Texts, both literary and from multiple forms of media, will be critically explored as reflective of people’s ways of knowing, thinking and communicating. In this new degree, students will engage in debates and dialogues around writing and media, as well as critical and cultural

theories. They will also develop invaluable skills in writing and expression that will contribute to their communication and critical thinking skills.
