Course Description
Think you know English? Think again. At Nottingham, we go beyond a love of books. Our huge choice of optional modules in everything from Vikings to drama means you can explore what you already love, discover new passions, and tailor your degree to what interests you the most. You’ll build from a starting point in applied linguistics, drama, creative writing, and literature (from medieval to present day), exploring what it is to be human through the historical, cultural and social contexts of a text. 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 combine English with Creative Writing on our combined honours programme, and with Classics, History, Philosophy, History of Art, French, German, Hispanic Studies or American and Canadian Studies in our joint honours programmes. In addition, English can be studied alongside multiple subjects in our BA Liberal Arts.
