English BA (Hons)

The University of Northampton’s dynamic and diverse English BA degree provides a thorough exploration of English Literature, where you can plot your own pathways through a range of themed strands and in-depth module topics, all regularly taught by dedicated, enthusiastic and research-active tutors. We offer a supportive learning environment where you can feel safe and empowered to explore new ideas, develop your love of literature and learn vital life skills for your future career. At the centre of our newly updated BA English programme is diversity and relevance. This means we study texts representing a range of voices and identities, embracing the latest cultural debates and searching out literary expressions from revolutionaries or the marginalised, but also looking deeply into the rich heritage and history of the literary arts across the ages and through the full range of literary genre. We care deeply about what literature can show us of the world in all its complexity, and the degree in English taps into this passion for hearing all voices and witnessing the history and breadth of literary expression.
