Film and Literature - BA (Hons)

University of Warwick

Our Film and Literature degree lets you study both subjects – Literature, and Film and Television Studies. It also examines how they meet and overlap. This includes the adaptation of material from one medium into another, and the broad cultural shift from literature to film, television, and audio-visual media.Words and images have always been central to the way cultures have communicated ideas about what societies are, or should be like. They explore what it is to be human in ways that have a philosophical, ethical and moral dimension.They do so by finding particularly eloquent and beautiful forms of expression and inciting varied responses with different degrees of intensity. With an equal weighting of both subjects, this course brings together a traditional discipline (literature) with a newer, pervasive and culturally essential one (film and television studies). It will develop your understanding of film, television and literature, their history, aesthetics, and social and cultural significance.
