If you've already applied for this course, you should have received an email explaining how this move might impact you.

ENGLISH at NTU is taught by award-winning and internationally-recognised academics. The course is extremely flexible, offering a broad range of optional modules that allow you to pursue your interests for the written word, from Shakespeare right through to travel writing. It is ideal for anyone who has a passion for the written word and for those who want to develop a set of vital skills that are highly valued by employers, such as excellent communication and critical analysis skills. Through the varied modules you’ll explore key debates, enhance your skills and become more creative in the way that you write. You’ll be able to engage with a detailed cultural programme of events where you’ll be able to meet and converse with writers, film makers and other practitioners to gain a greater insight into English and to learn additional expertise. You’ll also be given fantastic research seminars which will help you to conduct your own research. 100% of English students would recommend studying at NTU (NSS 2020). FILM & TV will show you how to examine classic film and TV and will consider the contemporary digital revolution. This course will help you to make sense of various forms of cinema and their meanings. You'll explore American, European, British and International cinema in depth whilst still pursuing your own specialist interests. You'll analyse the purpose of the audience especially in relation to how they function in the age of global corporations and digital media. NTU stands out for the diverse range of cultures that our course covers and for giving students the chance to study international cinema on a more intricate level. You’ll be taught by established researchers in film and TV. This exciting and innovative degree will strengthen your writing skills, develop your conceptual analysis skills and will offer you many opportunities to project manage and to enhance your initiative skills. Our recent graduates have ventured into exciting careers including; journalism, publishing, marketing, broadcasting and events management. 97% of our English joint honours undergraduates are in work or further study within just six months of finishing their degree (DLHE 2016/17).
