Our flexible programme allows you to curate your study according to your interests. From William Shakespeare to Sally Rooney, you can carve your own pathway through the history of English Literature and create your own degree programme.
You can explore everything from poetry and novels to film and philosophy — as well as produce your own works of critical-creative literature. Because of our commitment to innovative literary studies, you’ll also explore important new debates in the field such as neoliberalism, decolonisation, and disability studies.
