Learning outcomes On successful completion of the study programme the students should be able to
- combine the creative work in literature, film and theatre with analytical and theoretical reflection.
- work with narratology, dramaturgy, theme and genre in various forms of expression, create their own expressions and interpret the expressions of others. The interplay between theoretical knowledge and practical exploration will give the students a basis for working creatively with projects aimed at literary, cinematic and theatrical presentations.
- to compare literature, film and theatre, discuss similarities and differences in form and content, and develop this insight through creative work.

Teaching methods The teaching methods alternate between the introductory lectures, seminars where the students themselves present material in different ways, and supervised projects. During the spring semester (LFT101-1) the students go on a field trip to see the theatre productions and follow courses in film and theatre. The choosen destination is often Copenhagen.
