Our lively learning community offers a nurturing, friendly, and supportive environment, with extensive pastoral provision. Students select their pathway through the course via a variety of optional modules which gives the flexibility and freedom to develop critical and textual specialisms and interdisciplinary connections. In the final year, students have the freedom to undertake either a traditional dissertation or an alternative industry-focused capstone project.
The English team’s links with cultural organizations and industry in Nottingham (for example, Nottingham UNESCO City of Literature) and beyond directly feed into the course, offering our students opportunities to engage with the wider local community and the local literary industry. Unlike many other BA English courses, our employability pathway is embedded, ensuring direct connections between studying the subject and our students’ futures.
