Our English courses are ranked in the top 10 for creative writing in the Complete University Guide 2021. **What you will study** On our BA (Hons) English Literature course, you’ll study vital and influential works of literature, reading and discussing contemporary works as well as classics in a wide range of genres and from around the world.
