About this course

Combined degrees provide an opportunity to study two subjects as part of the same course and develop your interests in multiple areas. You’ll also enhance your employability and career options by gaining a wide variety of skills and expertise.

On this combined degree, you'll study 50% English Literature and 50% Communication and Media.

See the Single Honours course page for each subject for more information on course content. Please note, the exact module choice available to you may differ from the Single Honours course.

English Literature

In year one, you will take modules aimed at developing the skills necessary for advanced study. From year two, you will choose from a range of literature modules that focus on specific periods, genres or themes. You will develop specialist knowledge of English literature, while also developing analytical skills that will inform and be enriched by your study of another subject.

In each year, you will take 60 credits of English and 60 credits from your other subject choice.

See the full English Literature course page.

Communication and Media

Media coverage represents the most important method for communicating key issues and developments in most subject areas to the wider world, so Communication and Media makes an excellent partner for 50:50 combinations with another subject of your choice. This means that you will find plenty of opportunities for crossover between your other subject and Communication and Media, but you will still study core modules from both. In Communication and Media, the full range of our modules will be open to you in years two and three.
