Course Summary

Studying English literature with psychology will give you a range of interesting topics to explore in depth. As a psychology student, you will examine the complex workings of the mind, while in English literature you will seek to investigate how others have reflected its creative, emotional and ideological side through a variety of texts. Our two-year fast-track degrees have been created so that you can: - Start your career or masters course a year sooner - Save money by paying for just two years’ tuition fees - Save money on the costs associated with being a student - Based at Farnborough College of Technology, we offer classroom-based lectures, a small campus experience and plenty of personalised support. This makes us a popular choice locally for those who want to study higher education in a down-to-earth setting – where you won’t get lost in the crowd. Modules chosen at Level 5 and Level 6 of study will define the particular degree title awarded, of either BA (Hons) Psychology with English Literature or BA (Hons) English Literature with Psychology. **What will I study?** **Psychology** For those interested in the mind and human behaviour, psychology is a fascinating subject to explore. Our degree introduces you to a number of insightful topics, designed to stimulate and challenge your way of thinking. Biological, social, developmental and cognitive psychology are investigated to uncover the reasons for certain human behaviours. These topics are linked to real-life issues to encourage relevant thought about why people are the way they are. You will dive into important topics such as research methods and data analysis to ensure your work is academically sound while feeling confident about your ability to create insightful work that unpicks the human mind. **English Literature** English literature is naturally an ideal subject for those with a passion for books, reading, and the spoken word. We encounter literature every day - in books, magazines, poetry, advertising, plays, song lyrics, and TV boxsets. The ability to analyse these texts and their subtle meanings is a skill that could lead to a range of interesting careers. At Farnborough, you will read a range of stimulating and diverse texts. This ranges from the Renaissance period to the modern day while learning about historical contexts, gender and literature, poetic language and more along the way. A degree in English will hone your own communication skills and encourage creative writing – skills that can help set you apart from other graduates when starting your new career.
