Description:

This rich and rewarding degree allows you to combine a love of the past with a passion for English literature. In English literature, we offer access to the entire chronological span, from the Anglo-Saxon period to the 21st century. Our curriculum is far from restricted to the printed word – we are intrigued by the connections between literature and film, art, music, history, language, and popular culture, and our teaching reflects this dynamic crossover. This allows you to shape your degree to suit, choosing a traditional path of multiple periods and genres or a more dynamic mix combining literary study with analysis of other cultural forms.

In History, we give you an insight into the processes of change, from the medieval to the modern period. You will learn about the very different worlds of people in the past, and to better understand the present. On offer are the history of societies in diverse parts of the globe, including India, China, Germany, France, Russia, Britain and Wales.
