University of Chester has participated in the Teaching Excellence Framework. These ratings were awarded in 2023, for four years.
Course summary
The English BA course contains core modules at each level of study with increased flexibility at Levels 5 and 6. At Level 4, you are introduced to the building blocks of language, the close analysis of literature, and the creative and practical processes involved with writing and publishing. Levels 5 and 6 build upon this foundation with more complex learning, but you are able to tailor the course to your own interests by choosing to focus on one or two areas of study. The way our course is designed means that if you wish to continue with the study of all three areas (English Language, English Literature, and Creative Writing) you are also able to do so.

Assessment method
There will be a broad range of assessment methods so you are exposed to the different types of tasks you might encounter in the workplace. These will include coursework in the form of linguistic analysis, research posters, written pieces (both long and short form), presentations (live and pre-recorded), portfolios of writing, creative and reflective pieces and artifact manufacture. We continuously review the assessment methods used in order that they adequately prepare you for graduate level employment.
