Course summary
Texts are all around us 鈥� from books and magazines to TV, email and the internet. The ability to analyse them and their often subtle meanings is a skill that can open doors in a wide range of professional fields. English Studies at the University of Stirling offers you the perfect chance to dedicate yourself to reading and enjoying a range of great novels, plays and poems from across the world. Your own creative writing can form part of this degree, too 鈥� as we believe it aids your understanding of literary style and technique and develops your imagination. You鈥檒l also have the opportunity to take a range of language-based courses which will inform your understanding and appreciation of literary texts. These are just some of the factors that make our BA a little different from other English courses. You鈥檒l study literary works from the medieval period to the present day, as well as learn about linguistics, creative writing and the history of the English language. Along the way, you鈥檒l benefit from top-rated teaching, visits from outside experts and the annual staging of the Booker Prize Initiative on campus 鈥� giving you the opportunity to meet world-renowned contemporary authors and discuss their work. You also have the freedom to take English Studies with other courses and earn a combined honours degree tailored to your unique ambitions.If you really want to understand the modern world, it鈥檚 essential to unlock the patterns of the past. History courses can help you do exactly that 鈥� and here at the University of Stirling, we take an innovative approach to guiding you through the major events and periods that have shaped us all. Our History degree will equip you with a wide range of intellectual and personal skills.

Along the way, you鈥檒l enjoy the freedom to not only focus in on specialty areas of history that interest you most, but also to combine your studies with a range of other subjects that broaden your professional possibilities 鈥� from journalism to teaching, politics and sociology.
