Our BA in English Literature and History will help you understand how stories, ideas and societies have shaped the world around us.
You'll explore the people, events and movements that have influenced societies across the British Isles, Europe (East and West), Africa, Asia and the Americas. You'll investigate topics ranging from political, social and gender history to emerging fields such as digital and environmental history.
You'll also study a diverse range of texts across different periods, genres and culture but you won’t be restricted to studying the printed word. We're intrigued by the connections between literature and film, art, history, technology, language, and everyday life. You'll discover new ways of understanding texts and other cultural forms, and the world they reflect.
As you progress, you'll learn to analyse literary and historical evidence, evaluate different interpretations and construct persuasive arguments. You'll engage with a wide range of perspectives while developing the confidence to express your ideas clearly and thoughtfully.
When you graduate, you'll leave with sought-after skills in critical thinking, research, communication, and creativity, preparing you for a wide range of careers and future opportunities.
