What the college says

The English department aims to put together a course that is challenging, enjoyable and responsive to the needs and talents of you, the students. The course is based entirely and unashamedly upon a study of literature and rewards those with a passion for exploring their literary heritage. We look at historical texts across a range of genres, exploring what they may have to say to us in the 21st Century and what they say about their own times: we look at modern texts as new voices and as part of a tradition. You need an enjoyment of reading, an open mind and fluency on paper to express your ideas to full advantage.
