Program Description

The English Literature BA (Hons) course at Coventry University is for students who want to explore the major literary periods that you will have studied in your pre-degree-level studies, and want to be introduced to new and diverse areas of the subject.

• There is a focus on your application of new and cutting-edge theories and ways to analyse texts. Such examples include posthumanism, ecocriticism and critical race theory. This is to help you generate new insights of your own rather than just learning about literary history and the interpretations of others. Because at Coventry, we want to inspire you to keep learning even after graduation.
• You may have the opportunity to apply for a work placement. This has led previous students to experiences as an English subject mentor at Cardinal Newman School, a marketing and events social media and newsletter editor at the Coventry Irish Society, an editorial intern at Grazia Magazine, a freelance journalist at Coventry News and Sport or a human resources intern at First Utility
• There is a chance to develop a dynamic online presence through creating an individual A Domain of One’s Own (DoOO) website, which allows graduates to present prospective employers with an online portfolio of your degree-level work.
• You have the opportunity to join a range of societies such as the Literature Society or Book Club Society which aim to develop your interest in literature, film, and theatre, as well as promoting social events.

Graduates in English literature go on to a very wide range of employment destinations and are typically well suited to any career in which communication and intercultural skills are paramount.
