About English Literature (Single - Q300), BA - at University of Buckingham

Our BA English Literature Programmes are taught to small groups by energetic and enthusiastic academics with international research profiles in 19th- and 20th-century studies.

Ideas developed in core seminars are taken forward in weekly small-group tutorials, where a maximum of eight students discuss and interpret specific passages of writing, under the watchful guidance of their tutor.

Students will read widely and develop strong lines of argument and personal responses to what they find, anchored in an informed understanding of the discipline and with reference to the critical debates that animate it. We believe, as Jeanette Winterson says, that "learning how to read deeply" - and that means diverse and sometimes difficult texts - "trains the brain and improves your sense of self. Learning how to write, even reasonably well, gives fluency to the rest of life".

If you choose BA English Literature (Single Honours) in two terms of your final year you are given the opportunity to research, develop, and write a Dissertation of 6,000 - 8,000 words. This sounds daunting, but you have six months to complete it, and plenty of guidance from us, many of our students found it one of the most rewarding parts of their studies.

The final dissertation has to be bound, fully 'styled' and sourced (in other words, a professional piece of report writing in every sense), and is your chance to connect together many of the skills you have acquired on the English Literature programme here at Buckingham. Your bound dissertation makes an ideal accompaniment to your CV if you are applying for jobs where research and report-writing are important.
