Overview

You will explore literature in a global context, looking in depth at language and literary history within texts and on the international literary stage.

Studying Literature at The University of the Highlands and Islands is not ‘English’, and nor is it ‘Scottish’. Our modules cover a wide range of authors, in English and translation, as well as theory from classic to contemporary. With a solid foundation in genres and periods in years 1 and 2, and research-based modules in years 3 and 4, our graduates are confident and enthusiastic writers, researchers and readers.

Special features

You will study literature in an international context

Research strengths (all taught on the degree) include: nation and identity, genre, adaptation, gender, theory/writing/originality, writing of place, nature and the environment, and in particular periods: classical and medieval, renaissance, eighteenth century and romanticism, nineteenth century, and modern and contemporary.

All modules in years 3 and 4 are based on staff research, and you’ll be part of a vibrant research culture from your first semester

Modules on Gaelic literature in translation are available
