Course summary
With our BA Art and English Literature programme, you’ll engage in practical studio work, discover ideas and theories in contemporary art, and explore literature from every era and corner of the globe. At the University of Reading, you’ll investigate how debates across the creative arts are reflected in dynamic ways across both art and literature, guided by staff from Reading School of Art and the Department of English Literature. Throughout your studies, you'll acquire skills in close reading of texts and artworks, critical analysis, and experimentation, and become adept at articulating ideas creatively and persuasively. These skills will allow you to engage with confidence in professional and public discourse. In your personal and working life, they will enable you to look beyond immediate tasks and problems to wider social, cultural, civic, and global contexts.
