About the course
Combine your passion for linguistics with your love of literature.
Our English Language and Literature BA enables you to explore the relationship between linguistic structure and its literary heritage – and how language operates in both society and literature.
Our bold, forward-thinking curriculum allows you to study the transformative power of language. We offer a distinctive approach to a radical breadth of literary and non-literary language. There’s an emphasis on close reading, creative and critical writing, and a broad range of linguistic approaches.
Our teaching has involved:
You’ll have the opportunity to experiment with your own writing, supported by our experts. They have many links with the creative industries as well as literary events in Brighton, including the poetry series Placeholder and the festival The Coast is Queer. We’ve also previously offered our students career-building experience through schemes – such as Sussex Writes – that bring the power of reading and creative writing to the public.
