Our English and Sport Science degree combines two exciting and challenging disciplines. Half of your time will be spent studying modules in English and the other half spent studying modules in the School of Sports, Exercise and Health Sciences. While each discipline has its distinctive subjects and approaches, you will also discover productive connections and overlaps between them. The English component of your degree allows you to explore literature and language within a broad range of fields and approaches, so providing a stimulating environment for your studies. The modules we offer grow out of the current research interests and publications of our academic staff, making it possible for you to study the latest thinking in areas as diverse as the staging of Shakespeare, Film Studies, the Analysis of Poetry, Narratives of American Sport, and Language in Society. You will also be able to choose modules in Creative Writing, with tuition across the discipline enhanced by teaching from visiting professional authors.
