Liberal Arts BA (Hons)

Through our English degree modules, you will explore important works of English literature, analysing their historical and cultural contexts and asking crucial questions about how English both reflects and transforms the world around us. Our courses are designed to be interdisciplinary and wide-ranging, encompassing English literature and language, but also American literature, digital cultures, creative writing and film, so you can explore your particular interests.

We provide a rich palette of opportunities to enhance your existing skills, including access to our multi-million-pound facilities, contact with prominent contemporary industry links and superb entrepreneurial support.

The School offers welcoming teaching spaces where students can work quietly and collaboratively, and venues for literary and creative events. Our students organise and participate in a wide range of events and activities including film screenings, visiting lectures, workshops by creative writers, readings and creative writing evenings. Students can also take advantage of The Student Wordsmith, an award-winning online writing and publishing platform aimed specifically at student and graduate audiences.
