BA English
Think you know ‘English’? Think again.
At Nottingham, we go beyond a love of books. Our huge choice of optional modules in everything from Vikings to drama means you can discover new passions, explore what you already love, and tailor your degree to what interests you the most.
You’ll build from a starting point in applied linguistics, drama, and literature (from medieval to present day), exploring what it is to be human through the historical, cultural and social contexts of a text.
There are also options to develop your creative writing in either fiction or poetry, learning from expert staff who are published poets and authors themselves. Then there’s the guest talks from award-winning writers, meaning inspiration is never far away.
Our students are storytellers, writers, performers, poets, critics, analysts, archivists and presenters.
This is English at Nottingham.
