This is a degree for innovative thinkers who thrive on the stimulating and thought-provoking combination of English literature and history. Closely linked by ideas, approaches and source materials, you will learn a lot about the relationship between the two subjects by critically and creatively focussing on particular time periods or themes. At each level you will study modules from our English literature and history degrees, as well as tailor-made modules revealing methods and ideas that span the breadth of both subjects.

The transferable expertise you acquire including advanced skills on written and oral communication, critical thought and analysis, research, problem solving and presentation, are highly valued by employers. They will enable you to embark on any number of careers in areas including print and broadcast journalism, publishing, the media, sales and marketing, teaching and arts administration.
