Course summary
Course overview
Think you know ‘English? Think again.
At Nottingham, we go beyond a love of books. Our huge choice of optional modules in everything from Vikings to drama means you can discover new passions, explore what you already love, and tailor your degree to what interests you the most.
Youll build from a starting point in applied linguistics, drama, and literature (from medieval to present day), exploring what it is to be human through the historical, cultural and social contexts of a text.
There are also options to develop your creative writing in either fiction or poetry, learning from expert staff who are published poets and authors themselves.
Our students are storytellers, writers, performers, poets, critics, analysts, archivists and presenters.
This is English at Nottingham.
How you will be assessed
Our courses are modular, with mainly full-year modules in the first year and mainly semester-long modules in the second and final years. Assessment for most modules takes place at two points, around the middle and end of the module.
Assessment methods – this is based on a combination of coursework, including essays, close-reading exercises, research projects and dissertation, oral and performance presentations, and formal examinations. The precise assessments vary from one module to another and across the years of your degree.
Project-based dissertation – on this course you can choose to do a project-based dissertation, for a more hands-on approach to your research.
