English Literature and History BA Honours

Our English Literature and History course brings together cutting-edge research in two disciplines. You will have the chance to create your own balance between historical and literary material.

During this joint degree, you’ll work alongside world-leading researchers. You’ll cover topics that range from postcolonial theory to medieval theology, and from Renaissance bodies to climate change protests.

In bespoke second and third-year modules, you’ll reflect on how literary and historical methods inform each other. You will also plan out your own research that draws on what you’ve learnt.

At the end of this degree, you’ll be a confident, knowledgeable, and highly independent learner. You will gain subject-specific research skills and the ability to think between disciplines.
