English Literature BA (Hons)
The core of the programme focuses on literature in English. Study is wide ranging, including modern and traditional literature, cultural study and critical analysis, Shakespeare and rap poetry. Single Honours students can add to their study of literary texts with modules in English Language and Creative Writing.
Year 1 provides an awareness of the range of different approaches to understanding texts and develops skills of critical analysis, research and writing. This is done through the study of an assortment of texts from various periods in history across the genres of prose fiction, poetry and drama.
In Year 2, most modules involve study of a group of texts representative of a period of history, a particular genre or a particular area of the world. All the major literary figures and movements from Chaucer to the present day are available, including Shakespeare, Romantic poets, Victorian novelists and modern writers. Modules examining American literature, postcolonial literature and adaptation of literature for the screen are also available.
In Year 3, a specific collection of writing or a particular theme is considered in detail and in depth and a wide variety of topics exist.
The programme is designed to give maximum flexibility and choice to students. After the first year all modules are optional, allowing students to engage with the material they are most enthusiastic about. The range of modules changes regularly to keep up with developments in literature and literary study.
International exchanges (optional)
The University runs a developing range of one-semester exchanges and visits for Year 2 students with universities in Poland, Germany, Japan and the USA.

The Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) record collects information about what those completing university go on to do six months after graduation. The Careers Service undertakes DLHE on an annual basis through surveys and a data collection process. DLHE is designed and strictly controlled by HESA.
While DLHE provides accurate information about first destinations, this data needs to be viewed with some degree of care. Six months after leaving university is often a time of much uncertainty and change for leavers; many will be unsure of their long-term career plans and may take a temporary job or time out. The destinations of graduates only six months out of university do not necessarily reflect longer term career success and are therefore a crude measure of employability. Therefore, DLHE data should be viewed as merely a 'snapshot' of one particular year's experiences at a specific point in time.
