Our aim is for you to become a ‘global citizen’ who thinks critically, understands cultural diversity and has a wealth of transferable skills.

On our 4-year English Literature and a Modern Language (BA) programme, you’ll develop high-level communication and critical-thinking skills, and foster resilience and independence through time spent in immersive foreign language contexts.

This is a dynamic and flexible degree programme that allows you to study literature from different periods and cultures, and across the range of principal literary genres, in combination with a modern language. You’ll choose from three different languages we offer: Chinese, French or Spanish. And join the most appropriate pathway - those with an A level or equivalent competence in a modern language will take an Upper Elementary pathway. Those with limited or no knowledge of a modern language take our Elementary pathway.

English literature modules won’t restrict you to studying the printed word: we are intrigued by the connections between literature and film, art, history, technology, language, and everyday life, and our teaching reflects these interests. You’ll learn how literature addresses social, environmental, and economic concerns with the aim of creating a better, more inclusive world and developing sustainable solutions for the future of the planet.

Similarly, your modern language studies will take an equally expansive view.

You’ll explore the language you’re studying and its social, political, historical and cultural contexts from a global perspective. Through a variety of language learning resources and materials, and range of student-centred learning activities, you’ll also develop your reading, writing, oral, listening and mediation skills.

An integral part of this joint honours programme is the opportunity to spend time working or living abroad to experience life in the culture of the language you are studying.  The skills and experiences gained from this time abroad are invaluable for personal and professional development, helping to foster flexible communication skills, confidence and resilience.

It’s important to remember that studying languages is not just about the language itself, it involves the integrated study of language, culture and society. Our joint honours programme offers challenging and stimulating modules emphasising diversity and celebrating cultural and linguistic mobility and you’ll find that often there are complementary issues and perspectives linking the 2 subject areas.

Graduating with a range of academic and practical skills – including teamworking, leadership and communication – the confidence to use them and the ability to see the big picture, you’ll be valued by employers and ideally placed to progress into a range of careers.
