The curriculum of our BA English degree offers you the freedom to construct a course covering literature and language within a broad range of fields and approaches, providing a stimulating environment for your academic work. The modules we offer on our English course grow out of the current research interests and publications of our academic staff, making it possible for you to study the latest thinking in areas as diverse as the staging of Shakespeare, film studies, Victorian literature, contemporary writing, and American literature and culture.

There are also modules in creative writing, with tuition across the discipline, and the option to respond creatively to literary texts on other modules.
