Description

  • Type

    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    Norwich

This degree allows you to study both the American and English literary traditions, side by side. You will learn what makes American literature, and through that the United States itself, distinctive.
You will come to understand how Americans have expressed their sense of identity through literature, defining their nation in the process. Norwich is the ideal city in which to study English literature. It is a UNESCO City of Literature, rich in heritage and with a vibrant contemporary writing scene.
You will also gain a first-hand appreciation of American literature during your year abroad in the United States, or perhaps you will choose to add a further comparative dimension to your understanding by opting to study in Canada or to spend one semester of your year abroad in Australia, New Zealand, or Hong Kong.
All of those experiences will enrich your final year, during which you will take a series of advanced classes and write a dissertation on a topic of your choice.

What I would highlight: I enjoyed a lot that I could focus on American Literature here. They have such a wide range of modules on every aspect of the subject which makes it much easier to tailor the course to individual preferences. The seminar leaders are very easy to talk to. Even though there are only 6 hours of teaching every week, the reading requirements definitely keep you busy.
What could be improved: No complaints.
Would you recommend this course?: Yes
