Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - English

Throughout the ages, the written word has been a powerful force for political action, historical documentary, creative expression and transformation. A passion for English is shared at Nottingham Trent University, and on the degree, passion is brought to enhancing, interrogating, and challenging students' understanding, while also developing their talents and strengths.

English at Nottingham Trent University gives students the opportunity to travel across literary genres and contexts, living different lives and stepping into different shoes. Nottingham Trent University is interested in everything: what Literature says about race, gender and sexuality; climate emergency; politics and society. Students will research what Literature represents of the past, shows about the present, and predicts for the future.

Students will develop a rich blend of skills and talents to draw on, every day of their life. Students will be able to write, analyse, publish, curate, evaluate, assess, record, anthologise, summarise, call out nonsense and appreciate beauty. Students will work out the strange truth in fiction, and the strange fictions in truth. Responding to texts in articles, podcasts, blogs and creative and critical writing, Nottingham Trent University will equip students for a future in which they have more than one way to shine. Graduates are interesting, knowledgeable, adaptable - and extremely employable.
