Key Facts

Keen to create your own novel, screenplay, or video game script? You can experiment with creative writing in modules such as Writing Beyond the Page.

From Year 2 onwards, numerous optional modules allow you to match your own changing interests as you progress through the course. We get you out of the classroom on a range of exciting fieldtrips, too; past trips have visited the Bronte Parsonage, The British Library and Shakespeare's Globe in London. Every year, students also have the chance to get involved in events at the Huddersfield Literature Festival.

You’ll have the chance to boost your career prospects by undertaking a work placement year in the UK or abroad. Plus, if you’re a prospective teacher, this course covers the full breadth of English in the National Curriculum.

On the course, you’ll develop a wealth of transferable skills, including critical thinking, researching, creative problem solving, and communication.
