This major's objectives include the development of an understanding of a range of contemporary literary and media forms through reading and critical analysis, and the refining and extending of the student's own critical, communication and writing skills. Upper-level subjects give students the opportunity to focus on the critical analysis of particular areas of writing and media, to study recent theoretical approaches, and to extend their skills in critical and, in some subjects, creative writing techniques. At third level students will work individually and in groups on topics and projects which will allow them to develop and further their skills and techniques in practices such as writing and editing, and to prepare a portfolio of work.
