This programme gives you the opportunity to study a broad and stimulating range of literatures from their ancestry in classical, Old English and medieval texts to the excitement of studying contemporary literary and cultural works. The programme combines a strong foundation in historically-based core modules with specialization in a range of innovative options.

In addition, we also run classes in Academic Literacies. This is a series of skills-based presentations and workshops using relevant literary examples that will help the transition to university by equipping you to approach academic assignments such as annotated bibliographies and essays. Academic Literacies will also introduce employability issues by considering English literary studies in the workplace, whether directly – such as in getting your work published – or indirectly – such as working in the media.
