Perhaps you’ve been studying English all your academic life and you think you know what it’s about. At school or college you’re likely to have been exposed to a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching and learning the subject but at Brunel your interests are our focus. We see studying English literature as a ‘journey of your imagination’ and want you to pursue your personality through your work. Our flexible modules will allow you to explore which genres, topics and periods of literature you enjoy - really giving you a chance to express yourself in coursework and assessments. 

We also understand the impact of English literature on a global scale, so whether it’s through one of our study abroad opportunities or the nature of the course where you’ll be taken on a ‘world tour’ of language and literature you can explore ideas, styles and key texts at an international level.
