English Literature BA Honours (Q306)

This degree provides you with an excellent education in literature, drama and film, combining a flexible approach and wide range of option choices with extensive historical coverage.

You will deepen your knowledge of literary texts and gain a firm foundation in the critical and theoretical skills needed to analyse them.

We introduce you to a wide range of literary texts – poetry, prose, plays and film – and offer a balance of pre-twentieth-century topics and more contemporary ones. There are also opportunities to practise creative writing and theatre, to make films or take a work placement in one of the region's cultural industries.
