Our BA (Hons) English degree is designed to investigate central themes and concepts across both English literature and language. From Brontë’s classics to the origins of dialects, we’ll cover over 3,000 years of literary history. You’ll also delve into a range of linguistic areas like sociolinguistics, bilingualism, child language development, gender and sexuality.
You’ll also get the chance to focus on a single author and study them extensively. Understand their writing against the historical, cultural and literary context in which they were written. In English language, you’ll examine key aspects, including its structure, sound system, history and ongoing development.
