Course summary

As our world hurtles from political upheaval to medical and climate emergencies, our English Literature degree helps you understand the stories that underpin our contemporary crises.

From society and race in classics like Shakespeare or Austen to modern American culture, and from twenty-first century gothic to love and criminality in the eighteenth century, our literature degree is relevant, vibrant, and inspiring. Through our innovative assignments and our close work with cultural partners, you'll learn how to apply the skills learned in literary study in the world beyond the university.

How will my BA (Hons) English Literature degree provide me with the skills needed for my career?

Employability is embedded throughout our learning and teaching strategies. Core and optional modules cultivate your competence and self-confidence, enhancing transferable skills such as high-level analysis and independent thinking. Our second-year students are given the option to take a Student Tutoring module, in which you will gain valuable experience by volunteering to help and observe in local high schools.

Our students are also given the option to take an interim year between their second and final year of study. This interim year allows you to gain valuable experience in the industry or study on a foreign exchange at a partnered university, ensuring that you stand out from the crowd when its time to apply for future jobs.

Our second-year students can also gain valuable experience through the literature and the museum module. This module gives you the chance to gain experience at local partnered heritage sites and museums.

With well-honed skills in communication and analysis, you will be ready to hit the ground running once you start a career. In recent years, our graduates have developed successful careers in journalism, the media, communications, publishing, librarianship, advertising, marketing, education (at various levels), and the civil service. Others have gone on to postgraduate study.

Whatever you decide to do, you will have strong employability as a result of having acquired the characteristics of a Northumbria graduate. These include critical reflection and self-learning, collaboration and curiosity, and the ability to apply your knowledge to solve problems in ways that are sustainable and ethical.
