Course summary
Our joint honours course allows you to pursue your learning interest within Education Studies and English Literature whilst providing a solid foundation in the discipline and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for your future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable you to gradually develop knowledge, skills and to become autonomous, effective and independent learners. Education Studies is the academic study of education comprising a multi-disciplinary range of modules in history, psychology, philosophy, sociology and educational research. English Literature offers you the opportunity to study British and world literatures through a model of progressive specialisation that teaches advanced literary critical skills in the context of periodised, thematised, formal and theoretical modules.

In Year 1 modules include Culture, Criticism and Literature, World Literature, Critical Theory, Shakespeare, Exploring Learning, Education in a World of Change, and Education and Childhood through Film and Literature. In Year 2 core modules include American Literature and Culture, The Literature of Space, The Novel and Modernity, and Culture, Crime and Transgression, Core Texts in Education, Children and the Media, and Literature for Young Children. Final year specialist optional modules offer intensive, small-group teaching, with titles including Becoming a Reader, Education in International Development, and Controversial Issues in Education. You will also take either the Contemporary Literature (Synoptic) module or the Dissertation Module, working one-to-one with a specialist lecturer.
