Course Overview

Our BA in English and Language allows you to combine studying modern language (French, German, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish) and its associated culture with English literature.

You will gain a thorough grounding in different areas of English literature and engage imaginatively in the reading and analysis of literary texts from all periods, from the medieval period to the present day.

Developing a critical approach will be key so that you can put your own and others' work in context. You will also have the opportunity to study a number of cross-cultural modules that will allow you to explore specific themes across a variety of language-speaking areas.

Graduates can pursue career paths in writing and journalism, publishing, editing, or research. Possible professions include:

editorial assistant

newspaper/magazine/broadcast journalist

writer

academic librarian

public relations officer

translator

interpreter

secondary school teacher

English as a Foreign Language teacher.
