Course Description

This is an exciting and innovative programme which covers a wide range of contemporary issues in language, literature and literacy. The major historical periods are represented, as are influential, exciting and thought-povoking texts from all the major literary genres. However, this degree is not just about Shakespeare poetry  and the rise of the novel, though these are covered in detail. You will also explore the history and diversity of the English Language, examine the impact of new media, such as the Internet, email and text messaging on English around the globe, develop your own web design skills and reflect on your own language use. Allof our English programmes offer student-friendly timetables, and full and part-time study options. Our staff are supportive, highly qualified and experienced, and study is enhanced byguest speakers, international trips, and visits within the UK to lectures, conferences, theatre productions and exhibitions.

Part time study option available.
