**About this course**
This course is ideal if you’re interested in film and creative industry careers beyond production, such as journalism and reviewing, festival programming, museum and exhibit curation, and promotion and copywriting.
The course examines creative writing and film within historical, cultural and geographical contexts, rather than in isolation. You’ll explore how writing and film shape, and are shaped by, their surroundings. Though analysis of published writing, you’ll consider language and style.
In Year 3, the course culminates in a major research project, covering a topic of your choice. You’ll also complete a creative writing dissertation.
