Course summary

Northumbria University’s undergraduate English Literature degree invites you to engage with literature and culture, and to explore how they interact. After developing the necessary skills to critically analyse traditional literature, students will be able to engage with options such as American Gothic and First World War prose. Students will have the chance to seize the option to extend their study abroad, in the likes of mainland Europe or North America.With well-honed skills in communication and analysis, you will be ready to hit the ground running once you start a career. In recent years, our graduates have developed successful careers in journalism, the media, communications, publishing, librarianship, advertising, marketing, education (at various levels), and the civil service. Others have gone on to postgraduate study. Whatever you decide to do, you will have strong employability as a result of having acquired the characteristics of a Northumbria graduate. These include critical reflection and self-learning, collaboration and curiosity, and the ability to apply your knowledge to solve problems in ways that are sustainable and ethical.
