English Literature and Philosophy BA (Hons)

Our joint honours course allows students to pursue their own areas of interest within English Literature and Philosophy whilst also providing them with a solid foundation in the discipline and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for their future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable students to gradually develop their knowledge and skills and to become autonomous, effective and independent learners.<br/><br/>English Literature offers students the opportunity to study British and world literatures through a model of progressive specialisation that teaches advanced literary critical skills in the context of periodised, thematised, formal and theoretical modules. In Philosophy, our modules explore how the work of historical philosophers impacts upon debates that are central to contemporary philosophy.
