What does this mean? Stories have the power to inspire, shift perspectives, and drive action. An English Literature degree shows how stories can influence public opinion and address current political, social, and environmental challenges. English Literature at the University of Hull stands out for encouraging and supporting your unique understanding of your own and others' cultures. Taught by published authors in a region with a rich literary history. Tolkien, and Winifred Holtby all have ties to both the University and the city.
Over 1 million books. Published writers. Top10 in the UK. We encourage you to value your own lived experiences and connect them with those from diverse cultures and periods. We explore 'texts' from manuscripts to printed works, from performances on stage to films and digital media. Join our thriving English Society and connect with top authors. Additionally, you can design, edit, and publish work with our in-house magazines, Document 1 and Hull Scribbler.
You don't do exams at work, so why do them at university? We take a different approach and focus on giving you the skills and experience to succeed, whatever career you choose. But don't worry, you won't be forced to present live if you don't want to. And it includes scheduled hours, time spent on placement and independent study.
How this time is divided across the year varies and depends on the module you are studying. Some longer modules, such as a dissertation, are worth more.
This module is designed to give you the best possible start to your university studies, making sure you have all the essential skills you need to succeed. Through lectures and workshops we will teach you how to write in an academic style, how to find quality sources, how to reference work, culminating in writing up a mini-research project.
