English at Leeds Trinity University is a vibrant degree programme enabling you to become someone who can understand, communicate and even create literature to a high level. We want you to participate in the imaginative and creative world of literature. This goes beyond passive knowledge; it is about putting that knowledge to use and learning how to make it work for you. We equip you with the skills and techniques of professional scholarship and research, but then encourage you to be creative in producing critical or original work that develops and communicates your own particular passion for literature. The result is a degree programme that helps you use literature actively to explore the world and your potential roles in it. Year-on-year in national surveys our students have polled well above the national average in satisfaction with this course and they score even higher in employability. So, it’s official: this programme is enjoyable and our graduates are employable!

Upon completion of this course, graduates can work within copywriting, publishing, professional writing, teaching, journalism, marketing, PR and communication. Postgraduate study at Leeds Trinity is also available, such as a PhD or an MA in Creative Writing.
