BA English

  • Objectives This degree gives you an excellent knowledge of a chronological range of texts, from medieval times to contemporary popular culture, while allowing you to choose where you wish to specialise. You will develop critical confidence and the ability to express your views orally and on paper, providing you with skills of the greatest value in a wide assortment of careers.
  • Entry requirements There are different entry qualifications for each programme. Some programmes require you to have a certain amount of knowledge in a subject before you begin the degree programme – this is called a ‘subject requirement’. Other programmes do not have any specific subject requirements. All programmes will, however, expect you to have reached a certain standard in your education and will ask you to achieve certain grades in your examinations. Most programmes have a standard offer so that you know in advance what you are likely to need. Please note that even if you have the minimum entry qualifications, you are not necessarily guaranteed a place on the degree programme.
