BA (Hons) English Literature and History

... United Kingdom
... University of Worcester

Course Overview

In combination, these subject areas enable you to explore English Literature in some of the immensely varied contexts of its production alongside investigating different aspects of History across a broad range of periods. English Literature at Worcester will introduce you to cutting-edge thinking in spheres as diverse as Shakespeare in performance, children's literature, contemporary American writing, and ecocriticism. History at Worcester offers you the opportunity to study political, cultural, and social history and introduces you to many of todays debates surrounding approaches to historical study.

Many English Literature graduates will take a fourth-year postgraduate Certificate in Education before entering the teaching profession. Other students will take a certificate in TEFL and become teachers of English as a second language at home or abroad. Those graduates who achieve particularly good results in their first degree will choose to progress to a Masters's course, which will then often lead to a career as a researcher or further study for Ph.D. Many students progress to careers requiring good communication skills such as Public Relations or develop research careers with media or publishing companies. Throughout the English Literature degree, there is a focus on developing employability which includes attractive opportunities for work experience on a work project module. Students are also strongly encouraged to take up the opportunity to study abroad for a semester.

History graduates from Worcester have progressed in recent years to take up work in a variety of career sectors, including teaching, accountancy, law, the media industries, local government, the police, retailing, administration, marketing, management, university lecturing, and research. A growing number of our graduates progress to postgraduate research in history, both at the University of Worcester and at other universities. Thus, History remains an attractive and personally satisfying degree to study, with a strong track record of supporting graduate employability in a range of professional, managerial, administrative, and media-related careers.
