Overview
This English and History (Hons) degree from Nottingham Trent University combinations are designed so that what you learn in one subject will complement and enhance what you learn in the other. In your final year you can choose either to split your time evenly between your two subjects, or to specialise in one.
Our flexible curriculum has been designed to create some amazing opportunities for you too. Your second year of study is divided into two semesters that enables you to take part in optional work placements or go on an international exchange.
By choosing English and History you’ll enjoy the freedom to choose from a wide range of optional modules, depending on your own preferences and interests. English literature has always closely reflected key historical events and by combining these two subjects you’ll be exposed to an exciting international mix of authentic and fictional voices.
