Course summary
We are passionate about literature and lecturers at Chester want you to enjoy an exciting, varied and dynamic course. You might find yourself looking for the psychological undercurrents in a fantasy novel, applying feminist theory to a Renaissance sonnet, exploring the motif of the vampire in Gothic fiction, or exploring the treatment of love in Shakespeare’s plays or a contemporary short story. You’ll get the chance to write a dissertation on a topic of your choosing, guided by a dedicated tutor. Along the way, you’ll develop key skills for your future: our students learn how to persuade by developing convincing arguments, communicate effectively and analyse writing in all styles and genres. At Chester, we offer an engaging and supportive atmosphere in which we all can share our ideas about literature.Your contact hours will include individual tutorials with lecturers, seminars with other students and a tutor, and lectures attended by your whole year. We offer a wide range of coursework assessments: as well as writing essays, you can gain marks for private study projects, oral presentations and creative pieces, depending on the options you choose.
