Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English Literature, Professional Placement Year

A four year honours degree in literature including a professional placement year, covering literary periods, critical theory, close reading and applied work in a relevant setting.

A literature degree builds argument rather than a trade, and the placement year supplies the workplace evidence employers look for.
