Course overview
Your passion for reading is at the heart of BA English Literature at the University of Hull. We encourage you to value your own lived experiences and connect them with those from diverse cultures and periods. You’ll study contemporary and international writing and its links to past – and imaginary future – narratives.
You’ll explore modules such as ‘Emotional and Artificial Intelligence’, ‘Banned Books: Literature on Trial’, ‘Literary Lovers’, ‘Terror, Horror and the Gothic’, ‘Cults, Conspiracies and Criminal Worlds’ and more. We explore 'texts' from manuscripts to printed works, from performances on stage to films and digital media. You’ll be encouraged to engage with non-fiction forms, such as auto-biographies and memoirs, and work with public audiences, shaping how they experience and interact with literature in various settings.
With a range of modules, you’ll be able to follow your passions to create a personalised academic experience.
