BA (Hons) English Literature and Sociology

... United Kingdom
... University of Chester

Course Overview

At Chester, we offer an engaging and supportive atmosphere in which ideas about literature are shared. Your contact hours will include individual tutorials with lecturers, seminars with other students and a tutor, and lectures attended by your whole year. Group discussion is at the heart of the degree, and we do everything we can to make the study of literature exciting, varied, and dynamic. We offer a wide range of assessments: as well as writing essays and sitting exams, you can gain marks for private study projects, oral presentations, and creative writing depending on the options you choose. You can opt to study film as well as literature or to link literature to wider issues like trauma, crime, fashion, and science. You can customize your degree as you progress, so by the third year, you might be taking several optional modules as well as working on a dissertation whose title you have created and where you work individually with a lecturer.

Our hard work in designing and teaching the course is reflected in the most recent National Student Survey where 100% of our students were satisfied with their teaching, which is well above the national average for the subject and speaks for itself.
