The programme combines creative work in the form of the presentations and artistic expressions with a more theoretical approach to literature, film and theatre. This means that the programme is practical within an academic framework. The text material to be studied varies across media, genres and geography, and spans from the great narratives in history to current popular cultural expressions within the three art forms.
The programme is a collaboration between The Faculty of Humanities and Pedagogy and the Faculty of Fine Arts.
