Course summary

Course overview

Do you love nothing more than a good book? Or perhaps youve always wanted to know how language works, or how it changes over time?

If you love literature and are interested in the inner workings of your favourite texts, this is the course for you. We'll study English literature throughout history and learn how the language developed. This includes thinking about the uses and the themes, principles, techniques, values and significance of literary works in their contexts. Theres also chance to develop your creative writing, learning from expert staff who are published poets and authors themselves.

Our huge choice of optional modules in everything from Vikings to drama means you can discover new passions, explore what you already love, and tailor your degree to what interests you the most.

We are also proud to be ranked top 20 for English in the UK (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024 and Complete University Guide 2024).

How you will be assessed

Our courses are modular, with mainly full-year modules in the first year and mainly semester-long modules in the second and final years. Assessment for most modules takes place at two points, around the middle and end of the module.

Assessment methods – this is based on a combination of coursework, including essays, close-reading exercises, research projects and dissertation, oral and performance presentations, and formal examinations. The precise assessments vary from one module to another and across the years of your degree.

Project-based dissertation – on this course you can choose to do a project-based dissertation, for a more hands-on approach to your research.

  • Strong communication, both oral and written
  • presenting ideas and information, including collaboratively
  • text analysis
  • planning and researching written work
