Explore how literature and the visual arts shape our culture and society.
We offer a bold, forward-thinking curriculum that allows you to study a thousand years of literature in new and progressive ways. Offering a distinctive approach to a radical breadth of literary texts has made us one of the UK’s most respected and exciting English departments.

They have many links with the creative industries as well as literary events in Brighton, including the poetry series Placeholder and the festival The Coast is Queer. You’ll learn about the ability of writing to transform the world we live in. You also explore a wide range of visual material – from painting and architecture to sculpture and dress. Our engaged and passionate tutors will guide you through each year of your degree.
You benefit from our fantastic campus facilities including the Art History Lab and the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts, and exceptional links with galleries and museums including Tate Modern and the V&A.
Our teaching has involved:
- working with unique archives such as the private letters of Virginia Woolf and Doris Lessing
- field trips to literary landmarks such as Woolf’s house and the Globe Theatre .
We’ve also previously offered our students career-building experience through schemes – such as Sussex Writes that bring the power of reading and creative writing to the public.
