Welcome to the English Literature and English Language blog. Here you can find details of what our staff and students are getting up to, in and out of the classroom, including upcoming events, new publications, student projects and much more.
Our English Language and Literature degrees offer you a vibrant and diverse curriculum, taught by research-active staff who are experts in their field. Our degrees are designed to ensure that you gain not only a rich grounding in our disciplines and confidence in your analytical and interpretative skills but that you leave with a wealth of transferable skills which will open doors to a wide range of postgraduate and employment opportunities. Likewise, the richness of our student experience is not confined to the classroom. On the blog you will be able to see some of the extracurricular opportunities our students take up, including volunteering, work placements, student societies and external events.

What our students say…
“Studying a degree in English Literature allows you to learn about so much more than texts alone, you become knowledgeable in history, politics, sociology, gender equality, culture – the list goes on! I chose Worcester University because I fell in love with the city and the campus, the humanities department is extremely friendly, supportive and they have expert knowledge in their subject fields.” Amy Hill
