Course summary
If you can get lost in a book for hours on end, and enjoy writing or even drama, English is a natural choice. Storytelling is part of every culture and reveals much about a persons lived experience, values and aspirations within a given time. Taking the English BA at Brunel is an opportunity to uncover the richness of English literature history - its periods, genres and diverse storytellers - through a set of underlying themes. Your journey will commence with a module on 鈥楻eading Resilience to help equip you with the required skills and competencies relevant to literary studies, so you can approach any topic with confidence. After a first year of modules that pass through modern literature and formative texts to help develop your critical reading, your exploration in English is very much down to your own interests and choices. In years two and three a wealth of optional modules await you, covering every period and genre from Shakespeare to Jane Austen, postcolonial writing to the womens movement, with plenty of choice in contemporary and genre fiction like comedy, science fiction and horror. Throughout your literature degree you will be encouraged to express your own thoughts and creativity in your coursework and seminars, which will help you to grow as a critic and writer.Careers and your futureOn completion of the English BA, you will have a set of enviable skills which are vital for a variety of careers. Many Brunel English graduates go into teaching, media-related jobs like publishing, marketing and journalism, and others into the business world as account executives, campaign organisers and consultants. Brunel graduates of this degree fit just as easily into other career environments, and the opportunity of doing a placement year to gain experience in a job role and industry sector will be a distinct advantage.
