Course Overview

This course is a great choice if you are thinking of going on to complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) after your degree but don’t yet want to commit to primary- or secondary-level teaching.

You get an excellent grounding in the key National Curriculum subject of English Literature as well as gaining a firm knowledge of key educational ideas and theories; major literary periods and genres; and the use of language. You also have the opportunity to explore the role of language in society; contemporary and historical ideas of childhood and children; the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries; and the philosophy of education.

In addition, from your second year, you can choose from a range of optional units, tailoring your choices to your own interests and future career. Optional units may include creative writing; developing teaching practice; a full range of literary periods and genres, from Renaissance to modern; children, young people and the media; pedagogy and behaviour; and representations of disability. You explore political issues, history, culture, and our relationships in society; learn how to analyse texts; and understand notions of bias, truth and impact, while developing excellent written and oral communication skills.
