BA (Hons) English Language and Literature

... United Kingdom
... University of Chester

Course Overview

At Chester, we offer an engaging and supportive atmosphere in which ideas about language and literature are shared. Your contact hours will include individual tutorials with lecturers, seminars with other students and a tutor, and lectures. Group discussion is at the heart of the degree, and we do everything we can to make the study of language and 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 exercises, private study projects, oral presentations, blogs, and creative writing, depending on the options you choose. You can customize your degree as you progress, so by the third year you might be taking several specialist optional modules as well as working on a dissertation in either English language or literature whose title you have created and where you work individually with a lecturer to complete your project.

Our hard work in designing and teaching the course is reflected in the most recent National Student Survey (2020) where 94.5% of students studying English programs were satisfied with their teaching.
