Why Study English Literature at Kent?


Play to your strengths:

We do not have exams, and our coursework often goes beyond the standard essay or dissertation. This way you are assessed by your best work.


Study literature your way:

Our course covers a variety of genres. Whether you love Jane Austen or William Shakespeare, dystopian fiction, the gothic or modern and contemporary poetry, we specialise in the literature you are passionate about.


Unearth hidden treasures:

The Canterbury Cathedral Library and our Special Collections archive containing manuscripts, historic records, photographs, maps and printed books dating back to the late 8th century.


Explore Canterbury:

Our city is steeped in literary traditions from Chaucer to Marlowe and Dickens. In the heart of Kent, you can travel to London in under an hour by train, and beautiful beaches and historic woodlands are within easy reach from campus.


Learn from experts:

Our staff are industry professionals and encourage you to engage with new and inspiring work. You'll discover how literature tackles challenges such as immigration, climate change, racial inequality, and women’s rights using the power of the written word.
