Overview

Explore the richness of literature and media in this joint honours degree. You’ll study poetry, fiction, drama and non-fiction from different time periods and cultures, discovering how styles and forms have evolved. Through our range of optional modules you’ll have the chance to focus on specific themes or subjects. You could examine key genres such as Gothic, Romantic and children’s literature, or focus on how themes like race, sexuality and gender equality are explored in both literature and media and film.

Our Media and Film Studies course introduces you to emerging industries, the latest technology and ongoing debates within the field, such as social media politics. You’ll investigate how media influences public opinion, reflects society, and uses style and genre to shape meaning. Outside the classroom, you’ll have the chance to learn through research trips, film screenings, workshops, showcases and guest talks from professionals in digital marketing, content creation and more.

Throughout your studies, you’ll build analytical, research and communication skills that employers value. You’ll become confident in presenting ideas academically and professionally, preparing you for careers in publishing, media, marketing, cultural heritage and beyond.

From classic texts to contemporary media, you’ll develop a critical eye for storytelling in all its forms.

Work experience

In your second year, you can choose to develop and complete your own project, giving you the chance to apply the skills and knowledge you've gained from your degree in a real-world setting. With support from academic staff, the Students' Union, the Careers Service, and community or business partners, you'll design a project that reflects your interests and career goals.

The project is flexible, with around 36 hours completed over 12 weeks alongside your studies. Through this experience, you'll gain valuable practical experience, develop professional skills, and explore how the study of English Literature can be applied beyond university.

Volunteering

Worcester is rich in both its history and how it values the arts. Alongside your course you’ll be encouraged to take up volunteering with local organisations such as museums, theatres, The Hive library or opportunities to showcase your work with Severn Arts and Worcestershire Litfest and Fringe.

By engaging with Worcester's’ local organisations and arts festivals, you’ll gain work experience, build a portfolio of creative works and begin developing your network of professionals, who can continue to support you and offer guidance after graduating.

Course content

The mix of theoretical and practical based learning will help you develop your critical thinking skills and apply this to your own work as you develop your personal style and voice for conveying stories and concepts through written and visual media.

We regularly review our courses to reflect the latest research and developments in the subject area, as well as feedback from students, employers and the wider sector. As a result, modules may change to ensure the course remains current and relevant.

Optional modules will run if enough students choose to study them. It is not guaranteed that all modules will be offered every year.
