• Objectives
  This Joint Honours introduces you to relevant approaches to Creative Writing and Film Studies in order to broaden your knowledge of international film and Creative Writing culture. A central component of the course is the opportunity for direct practical experience (through practice projects in Creative Writing, short film-making and documentary). In the case of Film Studies this is enabled by advanced digital editing suite facilities. A combination of historical, theoretical and cultural approaches informs teaching and learning through staff expertise.
• Entry requirements
  You should normally have 200 points from at least two A-levels. You are also expected to have a commitment to your own creative writing: you may be asked to submit samples of your creative work as part of the admissions process. In the case of non-traditional or mature entry, you may also be interviewed.
