Course summary

Develop your understanding of language and how it is analysed alongside the study of literature and a wide span of literary genres and conventions Study language and literature alongside each other - develop your understanding of both disciplines and learn how they can mutually inform each other. Study the ways in which the English language has developed over time, how language use varies in different contexts, how language is processed and acquired, and how it shapes human behaviour, relationships and worldviews. Explore a broad scope of genres and periods in literature, with a huge variety of different areas to pursue, from medieval literature to twenty-first-century digital literary culture. Access unparalleled resources for the study of Shakespeare through our world-leading Shakespeare Institute, and make use of facilities such as our Linguistics Research Laboratory. You’ll be assessed in different ways to suit each module. At the start of a module, you’ll be told how and when you’ll be assessed. Methods will vary but may include coursework (e.g., essays), group or individual presentations and projects, exams, reports or computer-based assignments.
