English literature

Develop your specialism

Our BA (Hons) English Literature course is a large and popular programme with an excellent reputation.

We'll cover a diverse range of modules exploring books and writers from the sixteenth century to the present, finding your own specialty as you go. 

Outstanding lecturers

Our English lecturers are all dynamic teachers and researchers in their field, often contributing to scholarly books, publications and conferences. 

We scored highly in the last Research Exercise Framework (REF), and some of our research was awarded world-leading rating.

Open days and events

We're hands on at Bath Spa. There's no better way to get a feel for what we do than to come and visit us. 

Explore our campuses and ask questions through one of our open days. But hurry soon, they fill up quickly.

Indecisive about what you want to study?

Our combined courses means you don’t have to limit yourself to one programme if two tempt you. You could pair English Literature with a range of subjects from Publishing to Philosophy and Ethics.
