Course Overview

Our English Literature BA is a diverse and stimulating degree in which you will encounter a range of different kinds of writing, from the Early Modern period to the present day. We emphasize an ethical approach to the subject, relating the study of literature to significant contemporary themes such as environmentalism, social justice, gender equality, and disability inclusion. After our English Literature degree, many of our graduates take a fourth-year postgraduate Certificate in Education before entering the teaching profession. Other students will take a certificate in TEFL and become teachers of English as a second language at home or abroad. Throughout the course, there is a focus on developing employability for careers in English Literature. This includes work experience opportunities, a credited work project module, and a career and professional development module. Students also have the opportunity to study abroad for a semester.

Many students progress to careers requiring good communication skills such as Public Relations or develop research careers with media or publishing companies. Those graduates who achieve particularly good results in their first degree may choose to progress to a Masters's course. This then often leads to a career as a researcher or further study for Ph.D.
