English Literature and Sociology BA (Hons)

You will study an exciting variety of novels, poems, and plays. You might find yourself looking for the psychological undercurrents in a fantasy novel, applying feminist theory to a Renaissance courtly sonnet, studying the motif of the vampire in Gothic horror, or exploring the treatment of love in the comedies of Shakespeare. There's the chance to write a dissertation on a topic of your choosing. You will develop key skills for the future: our students learn how to frame a convincing argument, express it in the discussion, analyze writing in all styles and work effectively alone or in a group.
