Students undertaking English and Film Studies at Queen’s explore literature, language and cinema in the widest possible sense. From the earliest writings in Anglo-Saxon to contemporary Irish, British, and ‘global’ literatures from the origins of European cinema, via the French New Wave, to contemporary Hollywood and World Cinema, students study English and Film in their historical, cultural ideological circumstances and material manifestations. And modules on adaptation, visual culture and scriptwriting in both English and Film evidence the cross-pollination of these important cultural forms.Global OpportunitiesEnglish at Queen’s offers a range of Study Abroad opportunities, from the Erasmus programme with a range of European partners, to the chance to study at a number of partner institutions in the United States.We welcome applications from European students who would like to attend Queen’s under the Erasmus programme. This programme enables students who are already enrolled at a university in Europe to take time out from their own institution and spend either one semester or a full academic year at Queen’s.Additionally, the Study Abroad programme is particularly popular with students from North America, Canada and Australia.
