Course summary
If you’re thinking about a teaching career and also have a passionate interest in English literature and creative writing, this course lets you tailor your studies to your own interests and career aspirations. You’ll discover exciting and varied forms of literature and creative writing while learning about important educational ideas and theories, which you can put into practice through work experience in a school. The course provides the knowledge and understanding needed for further study leading to a postgraduate qualification in both primary- and secondary-level teaching.

Your student experience- Our Bedford campus is a small, thriving academic community where academic staff get to know you well. - You learn from an academic team with expertise across literature, language, sociology, history, philosophy of education and critical pedagogy; they are innovative in areas such as TV/film, literature, digital cultures, and political and social theory. - Many of our staff also have ‘previous lives’ in frontline professions, including youth work and education, and bring real-world perspectives to teaching sessions. - We help you develop your subject knowledge, powers of analysis and critical thinking as well as professional communication skills, creating a portfolio of work and a skillset that will help you as you begin your graduate career. - Support from your own personal tutor, a unit and course coordinator, and the additional support of our experienced library staff, all of whom will help you throughout your student journey and with balancing study with work and personal commitments. - You have the opportunity to go on relevant field trips to theatres, museums and art galleries (recent trips include a visit to Jane Austen’s house) as well as attending relevant conferences and research seminars. - You can contribute to research projects such as Literary Bedfordshire and get involved in organising conferences.
