BA English Literature / Careers

All our courses have your future in mind - whether that's further study or starting a career.

We design our degrees to equip you with strong critical analysis skills, the ability to articulate knowledge of concepts and theories, and the ability to work and think independently, critically, and creatively, providing you with a set of versatile skills that are highly desired by a wide range of employers.

Our award-winning careers service provides a wealth of tools, advice, development opportunities, and industry links. You'll have access to dedicated, subject-specific support throughout your studies and for up to two years after the end of your course.

Our undergraduate courses are also designed to provide an easy transition into postgraduate study, if desired.

We offer a wide range of specialist master's courses within the University and even offer fast-tracked enrolment to high-achieving undergraduate students.

Our students can take part in our Stellify programme with their degrees. They will develop professional and leadership skills. Through this, they can help their local and global communities with volunteer work.

Our graduates have gone on to work in a variety of industries, including positions with the BBC, KPMG, Deloitte, Marks and Spencer, Aviva, Accenture, and Barclays.
