The Single Honours English programme is aimed at students who love reading, who value literature and appreciate its fundamental role in shaping society and the individual. This programme aims to attract students who wish to specialise in a single subject and who wish to deepen and refine their critical engagement with a wide variety of English-language texts and cultures from the early middle-ages to the present. By concentrating on a single subject, students are educated in the history of literary and cultural production, in current theoretical methods and approaches, and in a wide range of generic, historical and national literatures. Through innovative teaching, learning, and assessment methods, we promote our core values – independence, creativity, collaboration, critical reflection, cultural engagement, and social and political consciousness. Lecture, seminar, workshop, and small group work are at the core of our teaching. In these supportive learning environments students and their lecturer/tutor come together in the spirit of mutual inquiry, reflection, discussion, and debate. Work is assessed by a variety of methods including exam, essay, reflective journals, presentations, worksheets, portfolios, creative writing, individual and group projects. Together these diverse modes of assessment foster the development of a range of important qualities and proficiencies. We work to equip our students with the knowledge, skills, resources and inspiration useful for a range of professions and beneficial for life, and to produce graduates capable of fulfilling their highest potential as critically-minded and creative citizens. The challenges, experiences and opportunities provided in this educational environment prepare students for a variety of different workplaces.

The BA Humanities is an innovative, interdisciplinary four-year programme that combines multiple subjects to provide coherence and depth to student learning within nine carefully structured pathways. Taught by expert academics in the Arts and Humanities, the BA Humanities programme offers both intensive training in particular disciplines and unique skill sets that are developed by bringing together subjects that and relate closely to each other.
