English Literature BA (Hons)
Learn how different societies have shaped, and been shaped by, English literature on our full-time English Literature degree in Cambridge. Choose to study abroad for one semester. Become a self-reliant researcher as well as developing many critical and communication skills required in the modern workplace.
Our BA (Hons) English Literature will help you understand the importance of English literature; how it is affected by the culture, language, technology, and economics of the period, but also how it influences readers and society itself.
By studying English literature, you will also be exploring a range of other subjects, including history, politics, philosophy, religion, psychology and the history of art.
You will be encouraged to work and think independently, helping you become self-reliant and critically adaptive, with the ability to consider perspectives that are different to your own or to popular opinion. Some exercises will involve you in group work, presenting ideas and information or finding solutions to problems with others, promoting your interpersonal skills and your ability to negotiate.
As well as developing skills such as literacy and communication, which are important for any future career, you will become well-versed in the specific methods of literary research, such as bibliographies, databases and information technology.
