The modules on our English with Business Studies degree are grown from the current research interests and publications of our academic staff, making it possible for you to study the latest thinking in areas as diverse as the staging of Shakespeare, film studies, the analysis of poetry, contemporary literature, and American culture. There are also modules in creative writing, with tuition across the discipline, enhanced by teaching from visiting professional authors and independent publishers. The business component of the English with Business Studies BA will start by introducing you to the key areas of business, focusing on commercial law, structure and organisation, and management of human resources.
