Overview

On this BA English Language and Literature (Hons) degree at The University of Lancashire you’ll get to study some of the greatest works by the giants of English Literature – from Shakespeare to Dickens. Through our optional modules you’ll explore and enjoy the finest examples of literary craft in various genres from all over the world – everything from American literature to gothic, graphic novels, drama, theatre, children’s literature and fairy tales.

You’ll take an in-depth look at the relationship between literature, culture and society, and how writers through the ages have sought to interpret and represent the world around them.

As well as enjoying and critiquing other writers’ works, you’ll also get to unleash your creative side. During this course we’ll help you to grow into an accomplished writer who’s able to communicate with clarity, precision and flair.

What you'll do

Gain valuable work experience with real clients through our Live Literature Room project - previous students have organised creative writing events, literary festivals and a major ‘Comicon’ event.

Explore literature from different periods and places, from Renaissance to Modernist and contemporary writing, and engage with theories and perspectives on gender, race and identity.

You’ll learn through a combination of taught lectures and group workshops, sharing ideas and engaging in lively literary and cultural debates.

Future careers

On our English Literature course we put a lot of emphasis on helping you to plan your future career. Along the way you’ll build an impressive portfolio of original writing and other creative works which you’ll be able to use to demonstrate your skills to prospective employers.

We’ll equip you with a wide range of skills and prepare you for a successful career working in the UK or overseas.
