| Would you like to grow from passionate reader into a critical thinker and literary scholar, and become a creative communicator in your own right? In a fast-paced, multifaceted media world, people with the ability to write, design and harness innovative technologies are in high demand. On this course you’ll gain real-world skills, learning how to create and publish content. We’ll introduce you to writers and thinkers who will open doors to contemporary worlds and cultures remote from your own, and help you explore more familiar literature in ways that challenge your preconceptions. This means you’ll study literature written in English by writers from all parts of the globe, whose voices are relevant and important in our modern world. You will also learn how to apply these skills of analysis to other representations of the world, through cinema, television, magazines, the internet, and we will develop your critical awareness of how the media reflects and influences the world around us. You will study the ways in which people communicate, the channels used and develop the practical skills that foster your confidence and creativity in working with emerging media technologies. Whatever your taste in literature, there will be something to interest and provoke you. From The Tiger Who Came to Tea to Jane Eyre, from Paradise Lost to Zadie Smith’s Swing Time, we’ll broaden your literary horizons and hone your critical thinking. We’ll also sharpen your practical skills enabling your career to get off to a flying start. |
