Course summary

Think you know ‘English’? Think again. At Nottingham, we go beyond a love of books. Our huge choice of optional modules in everything from Vikings to drama means you can discover new passions, explore what you already love, and tailor your degree to what interests you the most. You’ll build from a starting point in applied linguistics, drama, and literature (from medieval to present day), exploring what it is to be human through the historical, cultural and social contexts of a text. There are also options to develop your creative writing in either fiction or poetry, learning from expert staff who are published poets and authors themselves. Our students are storytellers, writers, performers, poets, critics, analysts, archivists and presenters. This is English at Nottingham.

Modules

In year one you will study five core modules.They cover the areas of English language, prose, poetry and drama, from the medieval period to the present day. The fifth core module, 'Academic Community', enables you to explore key issues in English and develop important study skills. In year two you will develop a deeper understanding of the issues and critical approaches across the areas that most interest you. In year three, you will choose six modules from at least three of the named areas. You will also have the opportunity to write a dissertation on a subject of your choosing. This can be on language, literature or performance, or even a project-based dissertation.
