COURSE CURRICULUM

The program is structured to develop strong analytical, research, and communication skills through the study of English literature and language. In the first year, students build a solid foundation by studying critical thinking, introduction to English literature, professional writing, and the history of the English language. These modules help students develop essential skills in analysis, interpretation, and effective communication. In the second year, the focus shifts towards more independent learning and practical experience. Students engage with modules such as investigating the archive and researching the humanities, which deepen their understanding of research methods and the use of primary sources. The study of language diversity through varieties of English further broadens their knowledge, while a work experience placement provides valuable real-world insight and enhances employability. In the final year, students bring together their learning through a dissertation, an extended independent research project on a topic of their choice, allowing them to demonstrate their critical and analytical abilities. The humanities showcase module also provides an opportunity to present their work in a professional and creative context. Overall, the course equips students with transferable skills and knowledge, preparing them for a wide range of careers or further academic study.
