How does the literature we read shape our understanding of the modern world, and how can we use our own voices to reshape it? This programme invites you to engage with the full spectrum of English literature—from the roots of medieval legend to the edge of contemporary crime fiction—within a community that values both scholarly rigour and creative experimentation.

Designed for those who want to move beyond the lecture hall, this degree empowers you to tailor your path. Whether your interests lean toward critical theory, creative writing, or interdisciplinary study, you will work closely with our faculty of internationally recognised scholars and award-winning writers. The curriculum is entirely coursework-based, removing the pressure of final exams to focus on sustained editorial, research, and creative practice.

A career-focused creative community

You will not just study literature; you will participate in its creation. Students gain professional experience by contributing to INK, our student-led creative writing journal, and by collaborating on local cultural partnerships with institutions like The Box and the Theatre Royal. This is an environment built for students who want to develop practical, employer-sought skills—such as project management, publishing, and public-facing communication—while exploring the texts that define our culture.
