Teaching and learning

We don’t follow the traditional path of ‘study the text, understand the text, write about the text’. We put texts on their feet. Yes, we’ll make you more passionate about books, but we’re more interested in igniting your feelings about the world around you.

Studying literature will make you confident, it will make you question, it will energise and it will enrage.

Passion is fundamental to what we do. It’s why our research is ranked top in the UK and why among us we hold the highest concentration of awards for teaching excellence in the University.



Study abroad

Studying in another country can add to your skill set and broaden your outlook. All students have the opportunity to apply for a year abroad, which adds to the duration of your degree.
