After the first year, the majority of modules are optional, allowing you to engage with the writers and movements that most inspire you. In Year 2, you can choose from all the major literary figures and movements, from Chaucer to modern fiction. Modules examining American literature, Postcolonial Fictions and Literary Adaptations for Film and TV are also available. In Year 3, a specific collection of writing, a particular theme or critical theory is considered in detail and a wide variety of topics exist. These include Crime and Englishness, Literature and Psychoanalysis and African American Literatures and Cultures. Modules here tend to be closely related to the research interests of teaching staff and engage with cutting-edge developments in the discipline. A degree in English Literature opens many doors. A range of highly transferable qualities, including analytical thinking, evaluative and research skills, self-discipline, and effective written and spoken communication, enables you to excel in a variety of fields not just confined to the arts.
