BA (Hons) English

Course Overview

The BA (Hons) English course covers poetry, fiction, and drama, as well as less traditional literary forms such as life-writing and graphic novels. Throughout the course students are encouraged to consider literature within a variety of theoretical, historical and cultural contexts. There are opportunities to study texts from a range of historical periods - from the medieval to the modern - from regional and global perspectives. The broad range of topics enables students to pursue areas of particular interest, while individual research projects are designed to develop critical thinking skills. Students on the course will gain a range of highly transferable skills, including research, writing, and project management, and can study texts from other creative industries including film and television. Literary study at Lincoln is enhanced by talks from visiting speakers and contemporary writers. These have included Poet Laureate Dame Carol Ann Duffy, who is a Visiting Artist at the University of Lincoln, Chris Packham, TV presenter, naturalist, and Visiting Professor, and Andrew Graham-Dixon, TV presenter, art historian, and Visiting Professor at the University.
