English BA (Hons)
The English BA is an exciting, diverse, and stimulating programme that invites you to think about the world differently. You will encounter a wide range of texts, and you will learn how to read critically and how to write creatively, academically, and professionally. You will also have the opportunity to develop these skills while engaging with a variety of genres and media, such as Gothic literature and film, Shakespearean drama, screen-writing, and Black and Asian Writing in English.
Our inclusive curriculum informs what you learn and how you learn it. Interactive lecture-workshops, small-group seminars, and individual supervisions are designed to support all your needs and abilities. There are a variety of assessments that will empower you to achieve your best work; these include traditional essays and dissertations, alongside blogs, critical definitions, and creative pieces.
Throughout your course, you'll enjoy many extra-curricular events and activities including those organised by the Race/Gender Matters research group, Kingston Language Scheme, and the Writers' Centre, Kingston.
