Creative Writing and Film Studies, Edge Hill University

Presenting representations of fictional and nonfictional worlds, revealing gripping stories of right and wrong, and asking questions about what society expects of men and women could describe both an exploration of the boundaries of your own creativity through reading and writing or engaging in the study of the spectacular illusions, extravagant lies and glimpses of shadowy truths that have emerged from the world of film and cinema. Studying both creative writing and film studies on this degree will encourage you as an aspiring writer and bring you a new appreciation of literature as you live the writing life. It will also immerse you in the culture, history and development of one of the most powerfully influential media forms to emerge in the twentieth century, enhancing your understanding of film from basic approaches to highly sophisticated interpretative and analytical strategies.
