English Literature - BA (Hons)

A BA in English Literature will help you explore a range of texts. They date from the Anglo-Saxon era to the present day. You'll get to explore many texts and genres. They range from illuminated manuscripts to graphic novels, and from poetry to postmodern fiction. These materials come from the English-speaking world and beyond. In your first year, you will sample a wide variety of literature. This will give you the necessary knowledge and skills for Years 2 and 3. Then, you will have the chance to choose the units that most interest you. You will join a thriving community of students, lecturers, and writers at The University of Manchester.
