English Language and Literature BA (Hons)

The Joint Honours BA in English Language and Literature offers a rich interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates the analytical precision of linguistics with the interpretive depth of literary studies. You will engage with the structural foundations of the English language, whilst exploring its historical development and sociocultural implications. You will critically examine literary texts across genres, periods, and global contexts, supporting your understanding of narrative structures, identity, and representation.

This programme facilitates graduate attributes such as professional competence, global awareness, and effective communication and prepares you to address contemporary challenges within education, media, and culture.
