Course summary

This degree gives you the chance to combine the study of two very human subjects. You’ll learn about the ways in which societies are organised and structured, as well as one of humanity’s most popular forms of cultural expression – literature.

You’ll be introduced to the key principles of sociology and study English literature across all genres and periods. We also offer a wide variety of optional modules, giving you the chance to explore the literary periods, authors and themes as well as the sociological topics that interest you.

Our academic expertise covers a wide range of topics in both English literature and sociology. As a result, we can offer flexible degrees with plenty of choice so you can pursue your own interests. You could explore topics such as American fiction, drugs policy, refugee narratives, class division, global African writing, digital humanities or disability studies.
