Freedom to shape your study

Our flexible programme allows you to curate your study according to your interests. From William Shakespeare to Sally Rooney, you can carve your own pathway through the history of English Literature and create your own degree programme.

You can explore everything from poetry and novels to film and philosophy -- as well as produce your own works of critical-creative literature. Because of our commitment to innovative literary studies, you'll also explore important new debates in the field such as neoliberalism, decolonisation, and disability studies.

Supportive community

You’ll be taught in weekly small group seminars and have regular one-to-one sessions with your dissertation supervisor. We also encourage you to meet in person with all your tutors to discuss your work. You’ll have an academic advisor who you meet twice a term to review your progress.

You’ll be able to choose from a wide range of modules including Romance and Realism, Postcolonial Women’s Writing, and the Neoliberal Novel. You’ll also get the chance to take part in an academic conference here at Lancaster. Finally, every student will write their own dissertation on a literary subject of their choice, with the help of a supervisor.

Careers

You’ll have many opportunities to enhance your employability and create the connections you need to get a head start in your career.

You can get involved with our student-run magazines, and will also benefit from our rich programme of guest lectures and open seminars on campus and in the University Suite at Lancaster’s spectacular medieval Castle.

By the time you finish this course you will have an advanced understanding of literary and critical forms. From advertising to professional services, your skills will be sought after across many different sectors.
