B.A (Hons) - ENGLISH LITERATURE
Literature is diverse. Every text we pick up gives us a different perspective on the world.
Our innovative English Literature degree has been designed to enable you to acquire specialised subject knowledge while developing practical and professional skills that you can apply to contemporary challenges, issues and debates.
Our English Literature course will introduce you to an incredible range of literary worlds. From classic texts to new and unfamiliar writing, we’ll ask you to think differently about what ‘literature’ can be and to explore original ways of reading and analysing it. We’ll also ask you to place your reading in wider contexts, and to draw on other disciplines to deepen your understanding and sharpen your insights.
We have expertise in a wide range of periods, literary genres and approaches to the study of words and writing; and our teaching staff share a commitment to excellent teaching and to offering you the best possible experience during your time with us.
Develop practical and professional skills
Historical background, philosophical concepts and political debate will all contribute to your ability to read widely and well, and to approach your English Literature degree with confidence and complementary skills.
This approach will help you develop the vital skills of analysis, communication and collaboration that employers look for in English Literature graduates – skills that will open up a diverse range of possible careers. To maximise your potential, we’ll also support you in learning to manage projects, work with your peers and our external partners, evaluate options and respond to a brief.
Explore the next stage in your career
Publishing, PR, teaching and journalism are popular paths, and our English Literature graduates have gone on to work with leading employers including New Scientist, Oxford University Press, Marie Curie, Bristol Museums and Barclays Bank.

Job Opportunity Potential
We’ve got lots to share with you and to help we have split our work into three elements which will support you with:
- Exploring your options
- Gaining valuable experience
- Progressing your ideas and career plans
At Bath Spa we believe you are continually exploring your options and experiencing different pathways to progression, but that this journey is not linear. It keeps on going throughout your time with us and when you leave. Some of our services cross all three areas and allow you to explore, experience and progress all in one, such as The Bath Spa Award.
We encourage you to read resources and attend events across all stages of Explore, Experience and Progress as they will offer beneficial insight and development opportunities regardless of the current stage you are at in your career journey.
