English and History is an exciting programme, which allows students to explore the human experience from the medieval period to contemporary times from the perspectives of both History and English. This joint honours degree provides a unique insight into the development of the world we live in that combines the study of prose, poetry, and drama with specialist British, European and global history modules across a variety of periods and themes. The programme will allow students to develop their own areas of specialism and a skillset that will be appealing to employers.
The first year (Level 1) lays the foundations for the degree. Core modules will guide students through the transition to university study, helping them to read critically, write effectively, understand literary genres, and develop and broaden their literary and historical skills and awareness. Students will also have the chance to take innovative optional modules in medieval, modern or global history that showcase the latest in inclusive historical scholarship.
At Level 2, students will take two further core modules on the literatures of the environment and human embodiment designed to enhance their intellectual independence and initiative. Students will also choose from a range of optional History and English modules spanning from the early medieval period to the present day. This will allow students pursue their interests across optional modules in both subjects with wide geographic coverage and strong thematic coherence.
After Level 2, you will have the option to spend a year in an industrial placement or at a host University abroad, which would enable you to develop and enhance your transferable skills. Throughout your degree, you will develop your skills in independent research and analysis. You will put these into practice at Level 3 when you undertake an independent piece of research on a topic of your choice.
In the final year (Level 3) students will specialise on the History and English that interests them the most. Students will spend the year working closely with a History tutor on a research-based Special Subject module, focusing on a specific topic in which they engage closely with primary sources. Students will take further optional History and English modules with more advanced thematic content that further hone their skills. Throughout the course, students will develop interpretative and analytical skills, and will become confident researchers. Students will demonstrate these qualities in when they undertake a Final Year Project on a topic of their choice in either English or History.
