Course summary
There’s more to studying English than being a skilled reader – it’s about being a skilled writer and thinker too. This is a global subject that influences writing and performance all over the world. At the same time, it pays attention to local communities and cultures. A degree in English is a great launchpad into many areas as you’ll be seen as a top communicator by potential employers. From the very earliest Anglo-Saxon poems and ballads to the latest bestsellers, we’ve designed our English programmes to cover a whole range of literature. Our teaching team is made up of 40 academics who are either world experts or rising stars – you might have already come across them on the radio or TV. Embracing diversity The topics you’ll cover are varied and inclusive – you’ll unravel cultural history and the historical approach to literature, social justice, mixed media and more. Our modules span the whole history of writing in English too, and span a wide geography from the East End of London to India. After you graduate, you could apply your skills in the world of publishing and journalism. Or perhaps you’d prefer to make a difference by working in education or the charity sector. What will we help you achieve?
