Overview

Consider canon and convention; intersectionality; variation, change and adaptation, and the impact of texts in society. Specialise in authors or genres, or the applications of texts in various settings.

At the English (Hons) degree at the University of Nottingham , you’ll build from a starting point in applied linguistics, drama, and literature from medieval times to the present day, exploring what it is to be human through the historical, cultural and social contexts of a text.

There are options to develop your creative writing in either fiction or poetry, learning from expert staff who are published poets and authors themselves.

You will also develop in-demand transferable skills in teamwork, presentation, and reflection - qualities highly valued by employers.
