Description:

As well as choosing modules from across both English Language and Linguistics and English Literature, you'll investigate the intersection between the subjects through a series of core modules taught by our specialised team. For example, you will use linguistic techniques to analyse literary language, think about why audiences find some styles of writing particularly persuasive, and examine the techniques authors use to make their works feel 'realistic'.

In your third year you will work with our staff on cutting edge topics related to their current research. Studying both language and literature allows you to explore the full range of teaching offered in the School of English and ensures that you are prepared for a wide range of careers when you graduate.
