Introducing your degree
Our BA in English will give you the room to think beyond the confines of A-Level English, empowering you to conduct independent research and to draw your own conclusions about the texts you choose to study. You will be given the knowledge and skills to explore poetry, prose, drama, and film in their real-life contexts by studying their relationships with history, politics, visual culture, science, gender, religion, law, and more. Not only will you emerge with an internationally-recognised degree from a top Russell Group university, you will also acquire the critical thinking and writing skills that will enable you to excel in whichever career you choose next.
