Overview

The English Literature and Language with Foundation (Honours) programme at the University of Westminster gives you the opportunity to study English literature by focusing on both the wider social context and the language that is being used.

You'll be able to engage with an exciting variety of texts, both traditional (such as Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and Charles Dickens) and non-traditional, alongside all sorts of other aspects of culture.

You'll become a sophisticated reader of texts in their wider cultural contexts, at the same time as sharpening your skills in research.

This training in critical and creative reading is particularly suitable if you are considering English teaching, the publishing or journalism industries, or any career that involves sophisticated communication skills and an advanced level of language use.

The University of Westminster and its courses are located in London.
