English with History, BA (Hons)

At Ulster University in the United Kingdom, the English with History programme focuses on key authors from the Elizabethan era to the 20th century, including Shakespeare and Seamus Heaney. It combines a one-third compulsory core with two-thirds optional modules, allowing students to explore personal interests such as creative writing, gender studies, American literature, historical fiction, or modern drama. In the final year, students undertake a dissertation on a chosen topic under faculty guidance, fostering expertise while building a strong foundation in English literary history.History serves as a minor, enhancing the programme by developing critical analysis of various periods, geographies, and sources. Over three years, students complete 120 credit points annually, gaining skills in evaluating historians' arguments and constructing informed perspectives. Note that this course does not confer qualified teacher status (QTS) for state schools in England or Wales.
