Join our BA (Hons) English with Foundation programme and benefit from a foundation year specially designed to support you in developing all the essential skills for success in higher education.
Study the literature of the sea in the Ocean City and explore the Devon settings that have inspired authors like Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle.
From Shakespearean drama to the graphic novel and transatlantic literature, English at Plymouth will take your love of reading in new directions. Explore texts that have shaped our world and get ready to navigate the challenges of the future.
Here, we’ve decolonised our curriculum, giving you free reign to explore an eclectic range of literature across centuries, cultures and geographies.
Benefit from our strong partnerships across the South West. Get hands on with the Theatre Royal Plymouth, one of the major new content production houses in the region, with local papers like the Plymouth Herald, and with literary festivals like the Dartington Trust’s Ways With Words.
Explore how literature responds to and drives change on major social issues as you look at how writers help us understand and change the world order. Play your own part by working with PEN, a charity whose letter writing helps free political prisoners.
At Plymouth, your degree really is what you make it. From the second year, you can choose to add in modules from across the School of Society & Culture. You can study the period of history that gave birth to your favourite author, bring a play to life with a module on Drama or change your perspective with a focus on subjects like Sociology or Politics.
Gain invaluable experience with INK, our in-house magazine, building your skills in everything from desktop publishing to editing and magazine journalism.
