Course summary
Combine the study of two core disciplines on our English and History degree to examine the connections between key historical events and literature through time. The study of English will enable you to undertake rigorous and critical investigation of literature from the English-speaking world, whilst History explores societies from around the world, from the medieval period to the present day. Through studying both subjects, you will build an understanding of the connections between English and History with an appreciation of literature and the relevance of History to the world we live in today.
Studying English encourages you to engage imaginatively with texts to understand the world from various perspectives. You will consider how texts function within different cultures, developing your own ideas and opinions in becoming a critic. Having a thorough interpretation of existing texts will enhance your appreciation of literature and build your skills in academic reading and writing.
Explore how understandings of the past continue to shape the present, and you will learn how to apply History to address urgent issues facing the world today. Debate 'defining moments' in the last 1000 years and how these have shaped society. In a global framework, you will explore economic, political, social and cultural approaches to History and grapple with a wide range of themes including war cultures, mobility, gender, religion and revolution.
Learn how to deploy rigorous, reasoned and well-evidenced arguments. Express complex ideas, and develop skills that allow you to communicate effectively and persuasively to a variety of audiences about the topics, news and issues that are aligned to your interests and career prospects. Your academic studies will be complemented and enhanced through optional modules that allow you to explore professional development opportunities, gaining experience across English and/or History in preparation for employment.
Youll also have the opportunity to study abroad with a partner university, to learn a modern language, or to gain a recognised TESOL qualification, through our Global Challenges Pathway, which will help you to develop global perspectives and build your awareness and experience of other cultures and practices.
