It really is unique!

Our BA Language and Literature is a specific single honours course with specialist modules developed and taught by our literary linguistics team, so you can truly study the interface of language and literature.


Teaching and assessment are creative

Whether it's directing short films, recording podcasts, or even constructing digital narratives using specialist software, we believe that using innovative assessment methods gives students a different and practical way to explore ideas and media.


Intimate and in-depth discussion

Our class sizes are large enough for you to meet a variety of new people, but still small enough for you to get into detailed conversations about every aspect of the topic you're looking into.


91Ö±²¥ Students' Union

Our has won the award for being the best in the UK by various different bodies for about 15 years in a row. With over 300 clubs and societies for you to get involved in, as well as an in-house cinema, club nights, restaurants, bars, cafés, advice centres and much more, is it any wonder that it just keeps on winning?

Research-led teaching

We think it's important to create a mutually-beneficial relationship in our classes. We want you engaged in our research, but we particularly want you engaged with the research of our staff and challenging what you're being taught. That's research-led teaching.
