Film and English Literature, BA (Hons)

Studying Film and English Literature at Lancaster University offers a dynamic degree programme delivered jointly by the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts (LICA) and the Department of English and Creative Writing. The Film component explores cinema's aesthetic significance within a visual and media-driven culture, while examining links to contemporary art, theatre, and music. Although academic in focus rather than vocational, students can create their own digital films using advanced university facilities each year.In English Literature, students investigate texts across various periods and genres, gaining insights into literature's societal role and innovative approaches. The department emphasises connections between literature and film. The programme begins with modules in English Literature and Introduction to Film, progresses to topics like Literature and Film and Global Cinema in the second year, and culminates in a Film Dissertation module.
