My younger dd is currently in Y12, studying Eng Lit, Classical Civilisation and Film Studies at AS and will be continuing all three subjects to A2.
Her sixth form college have advised her to consider joint Eng Lit/Film at uni but her real love (and genuine talent) is the theoretical analysis of film. She is aware that the Eng/Film pathway would keep her options open post-degree - although she doesn't yet know what career she would like to follow - but she's not sure that she loves Lit enough to study it at uni.
She's currently looking at courses at Exeter, Bristol, Warwick ........ would the excellent reputation of these places stand in her favour in the future whether she was studying Eng/Film or just Film?
Our elder dd will (hopefully!) be starting an English degree this autumn and has that real passion for the subject which her younger sibling, although working at a similar level, doesn't share. My gut feeling is that Film Studies at a good uni would probably suit her better.
Any thoughts welcomed! TIA.
