About this course

- The emphasis is on helping you develop a range of applicable skills to grow your future career, including textual analysis and interpretation.

  • With us, you can study everything from poetry, the novel and drama (stage, screen and radio). In addition, we offer the opportunity to use creative writing skills as part of your approach to literary criticism.

  • The chance to work with award-winning scholars and creative writers.

  • We have a reputation for getting to know students as individuals.

  • We offer a wide range of options, many of them unique in the UK, reflecting our staff interests and expertise.

    Please note: studying law within the BA degree will not qualify you for entry to the legal profession. For professional qualifications in Law, students should follow the LLB programme.

    Ranked 1st in Scotland for English (The Times/Sunday Times University Ranking 2024); Ranked Top 10 in the UK for Law (The Times/Sunday Times University Ranking 2024).

    This course is part of our flexible BA Humanities and Social Science Degree programme. With our BA (Honours) degree you can choose from subjects in Humanities, Social Sciences and Business, with two of your three subject choices taught by the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

    The BA degree is a three year course and the Honours degree is normally a four year course. This allows you to try new subjects, develop your own ideas, develop a broad range of knowledge and enhance your employability.

    You should only enter one of the UCAS codes on your application form. Acceptance on one of these subject codes will enable you to study any combination of subjects. Only one application will be considered. This is lifted from page 50 of the prospectus.
