English

• Learn how to analyse texts, write clearly and creatively, debate and critique effectively, and how literature adapts to cultural and historical influences.
• Chance to create your own fictional or non-fictional works, from poetry to novels to essays in a variety of different courses.
• Alongside courses on the novel, theatre, and 20th century literature, we also offer courses in fields such as children’s literature, human-animal studies, and popular fiction (including science fiction, horror, and fantasy).

Reading, analysing, and critiquing skills are useful in a huge range of occupations, including journalism, law, communications, publications, and even digital spaces. University studies may open the way towards creating your own works and becoming a published author.

Career pathways could include:

• digital media and communications
• reporting
