English Literature

English Literature is a highly regarded degree subject for a wide range of courses; the skills learned are useful in a range of career opportunities including Journalism and the Law.

Theatre trips are arranged whenever possible so that students see the works they are studying brought to life on stage. Occasionally visits to places connected with the literature being studied (E.g. the Jane Austen Museum in Bath) take place.

Students will need to have a good standard of reading and understanding of different texts and be open minded in their approach to a wide variety of genres and styles of literature to get the most from the course.
