English Literature and History BA(Hons)

Do great works of literature inspire you? Or perhaps you’re fascinated by the events and people that have shaped the modern world? The chance to study English Literature and History side by side gives you a unique and enriching view of both subjects, as each can inform the other. The English Literature element of the course spans hundreds of years of inspiration, from the English Renaissance of the 16th Century to the present day. Whether you love Elizabethan drama or twenty-first-century poetry, the Victorian period or modernist writing, you can indulge your tastes and gain new interests. Your choices on the History side of your degree are equally wide ranging, covering the cultural, social, historical, and political dimensions of key events and eras. You can study conflicts, empires, disasters and more, from the medieval period right through to contemporary society. History at Huddersfield is ranked 9th in the Daily Mail University Guide 2026 and 12th in the UK in the Guardian League Tables 2026.
