Course summary

You will learn to analyse and interpret meaning through the study of language, form and style in literary texts and other forms of discourse. This includes how literary and linguistic forms contribute to the making, sharing and understanding of meaning and also how meaning is shaped by the cultural and historical contexts in which texts are written, and in which they are read. The degree programme’s unique points are: specialist final-year modules taught by research-active tutors working at the forefront of the discipline; small class sizes with a high tutor/student contact time; a skills-based focus that encompasses employability, critical writing and reading and presentations. This degree is validated by the University of Hull.
