Course summary

In our combined honours programme, you'll study two subjects that are especially complementary. The English part of the programme takes you on an exciting journey across a diverse range of Anglophone literatures. You will read works of literature spanning the Middle Ages to the 21st century in their historical context, learning how and why certain literary forms (for example, the novel) emerged when they did. Our modules cover a wide range of media, from plays, novels, poetry and short stories to more recent and emerging cultural forms such as comics/graphic novels, film, television and digital culture. You will study writers from Britain, Ireland, the United States, Africa, Asia and beyond. In addition to historicist approaches to the study of literature, our team's expertise spans a wide variety of methods and approaches, enabling you to take modules in Creative Writing (poetry, prose, screenplays), Creative Industries (Publishing, Museum Studies, Theatre and Film) and Critical Theory. With such extensive choice, our degree programmes provide a diverse and enriching experience. As for the History component at the University of Exeter, it's designed to provide you with the tools you need to delve into the fascinating realms of history that capture your interest. The curriculum lays a solid foundation of skills and knowledge in the first year, allowing you to progress into independent research in the second year. The journey culminates in the final year with the opportunity to delve deeply into a specific subject. With numerous module choices, you can explore diverse time periods, from the Roman Empire to the early twenty-first century, and geographical areas around the world. Topics range widely, covering areas such as migration and mobility, indigenous peoples in Latin America, the history of health and its politics, women in society, the Vikings, magic and witchcraft in early modern Europe, and histories of material things. The choices are extensive, offering you a truly immersive and personalized academic experience.
