About the course

Ready to explore the power of literature? In an era of political turmoil, health crises, and environmental challenges, our English Literature degree equips you to analyse the narratives shaping these issues. Spanning classics like Shakespeare and Austen, which address society and race, to modern American culture, twenty-first-century gothic, and themes of love and criminality in the eighteenth century, the programme is dynamic and pertinent. Innovative assignments and collaborations with cultural partners enable you to apply literary skills in real-world contexts, fostering critical thinking from the outset.Engage actively in seminars and discussions from day one, exploring timely topics such as gender equality and the cultural impact of poetry. Your studies culminate in a dissertation, allowing you to contribute original insights to literary studies. Additionally, you may extend your experience through a placement year in industry or study abroad in Europe or North America, all supported by comprehensive tutoring and feedback.
