Course summary

Explore how literature has reflected and influenced different societies over the centuries and prepare for many careers – some you might not even have thought about yet – on our BA (Hons) English Literature degree in Cambridge. You’ll study a range of texts, including classic literary forms such as the novel, poetry, and plays, but also theatrical performances, films, essays, pamphlets, reviews and works of critical and cultural theory, developing your ability to read and respond critically.Studying literature - by its nature a multi-disciplinary subject - will develop your understanding of history, politics, philosophy, religion, psychology and many other subjects, as well as your understanding of the written works that have shaped our world.Throughout the degree, you’ll have opportunities to explore topics from other creative subjects too, including writing, film and media. Our English Literature degree will help you develop many transferable skills valued by employers from all industries, including literacy, communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, research, and working both independently and collaboratively.Our wide range of optional modules will give you the chance to narrow your studies to interests of your choice. You might decide to learn more about a particular genre, such as crime fiction or children’s books, explore digital publishing or online journalism, or develop your own creative writing skills. You could also further improve your CV by applying for the work placement year option, studying abroad for a trimester, or learning a new language with our Anglia Language Programme.We’ll also support you to find placements and work experience throughout the course. You can also choose to take an optional placement year or seek a placement during the course, with live briefs embedded into some modules - our students recently took part in a live brief with Metal Culture, producing critical responses and reviews for their publication In Other Words.
