Bachelor of Arts - English Literature (Q310)

On this degree students will discover a diverse range of literature, from classical to contemporary and from popular to canonical. In first year students will explore Victorian literature from the Brontës to Oscar Wilde and they will enter the exciting space of Modernist experimentation. Students will encounter new ways of thinking about the world and human identity and engage with Fantasy. Students will learn about ‘Literature Now’ and consider its latest transformations into film and the graphic novel.

In second year students will delve into past cultures, experiencing the rich literature of the Renaissance and encountering Romantics, rebels and reactionaries. They will also choose to deepen their knowledge of fantasy, fairy tales or the gothic and they will explore the globe through world literature. Whether students love detective writing, science fiction, ecology or romance, they will be fascinated by the other worlds they discover.

Stimulated by vibrant research events, as students progress into third year they will select from numerous specialisms and design their own research project on their favourite topic. Throughout, students will be supported by one-to-one contact with the department's friendly team who will guide them through the extensive range of ‘Study Abroad’ options and the excellent work placement module.
