English and Film Studies, MA (Hons)

This course encompasses a wide range of studies, from introductory film studies and Film Noir to Shakespeare, science fiction, Victorian novels, Hollywood films, Romantic poetry, and art cinema. In English modules, students begin with foundational skills such as analysing poetry and critically reading novels, then advance to historical literary surveys and detailed examinations of various periods, movements, and topics. For film modules, the curriculum starts with the origins of film, key techniques, and genres, progressing to classic Hollywood, international cinemas, and Film Noir, before delving into art cinema, film theory, and the intersections between film and theatre or literature.At Levels 1 and 2, students complement their specialisations with additional Humanities or Social Science subjects, such as history or philosophy. The program maintains strong links with local creative communities, including the Dundee Rep Theatre, Dundee Contemporary Arts Centre, and V&A Dundee, and offers opportunities through a successful drama group, JOOT, and an online review magazine, DURA.
