Course summary

Studying English literature helps to sharpen your analytical skills. If you can take a text and find the themes plus connect it with other texts, theories and historical events, you are showing that you can handle complex ideas, search for patterns and interpret information in a wider context. The course offers you the best opportunity to study an exciting range of modern novels as well as classic texts, including Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. It also provides you with the freedom and flexibility to conduct your own independent reading project in the second year. The reading project informs the assessed coursework (Paper 4).
