Do you love nothing more than a good book? Perhaps you’ve always wanted to know how language works, or how it changes over time? If you love literature and are interested in the inner workings of your favourite texts, this is the course for you. You'll study English literature throughout history and learn how the language developed over time. This includes thinking about the uses and the themes, principles, techniques, values and significance of literary works in their contexts. There’s also chance to develop your creative writing, learning from expert staff who are published poets and authors themselves. Our huge choice of optional modules in everything from Vikings to drama means you can discover new passions, explore what you already love, and tailor your degree to what interests you the most. As you might expect, our staff are all prolific readers themselves, and the academic team are made up of published writers, poets and linguists. This means you will be supported by, and learning from, people with real-world publishing experience. And you will be studying in a UNESCO City of Literature, with inspiration never far away. This course is also available with a Foundation Year. You may also study English language and literature alongside multiple disciplines in our BA Liberal Arts.

In year one you will study five core modules. Four of these cover the areas of English language, prose, poetry and drama, from the medieval period to the present day. The fifth core module, 'Academic Community', enables you to explore key issues in English and develop important study skills. You will also choose one from a group of optional modules. Year two allows you to develop a deeper understanding of the issues and critical approaches across the areas of English literature and language. You will take two core modules and four optional modules. The optional modules must be from at least three of the areas of English on offer. You may continue with creative writing if you took this as your option in year one. In year three, you have the opportunity to write a dissertation on a subject of your choosing, with the support of a member of academic staff. Your choices of optional modules come from the areas of literary studies, language studies, and drama and performance. Creative writing is available only if you took this option in your first year. Placement and volunteering opportunities are available in the School of English, as well as via the Nottingham Advantage Award. You can also spend time overseas through the University of Nottingham Study Abroad programme.
