Reviews

Course programme

This innovative new degree allows you to explore a wide range of approaches to reading texts whilst developing your own creative writing skills. The course tutors have a strong record of publications and research - four members of our team have won Teaching Excellence awards in recent years.

Our approach to literature is characterised by a commitment to the study of texts in contexts and by an attention to the debates and theories that all contemporary students of literature must engage with.

The course is distinctive both in its focus on the differing roles the written word plays across cultures and in the opportunity it gives students to develop their own creative work as an integral part of the programme.
Course structure

Teaching is in the form of lectures, seminars and workshops. The English Literature team at Brighton is committed to student-centred learning, and has an emphasis on students sharing and developing their own voices and their own views.

Areas of study

The degree gives students a thorough understanding of the key periods in the study of literature and its core texts, with an emphasis on studying writing and reading with an awareness of cultural and theoretical contexts. The modules address contemporary debates around authorship, readership and definitions of literature.

Students have the opportunity to develop their own research interests across a wide range of core and non-canonical texts and are encouraged to develop forms of critical and creative writing and thinking.

A number of options are available to students, including opportunities to work in conjunction with other subject areas and disciplines. The final year dissertation allows students to develop their own research interests, with the support of a tutor with appropriate expertise, and includes the option of a creative writing project.

Career and progression opportunities

Students of English have taken up a wide range of career opportunities and have gone on to work in the media, publishing and journalism; a number of students have moved into postgraduate literary studies and teacher-training.
