Really naff communication at times, and during strike season the materials put on Moodle to help compensate were often very little more than pictures on slides. Not a great choice of modules for next year either - a long way to go. read more

I’m not aware of the job prospects that my university course has to offer, and I wish my lecturers introduced us to more opportunities. They only ever showed job prospects for English Language, but I felt like that was only to entice the students so they would actually stay on the course. The content of the course is very versatile, so there is a lot to offer, however, there was often too much content that you could never sink your teeth into one specific thing that intrigued you. read more

This course has been the best decision of my academic career. Great for personal development in arts and in English. Very expansive on original ideas of what English is and on how you can think about English. Looking forwards to transiting into law, but this has been an important and vital stepping stone. read more

Good course, generally very good lectures. Could be improved a little bit as lectures can be too specific on one aspect of a text rather than providing a general overview. Very good support from staff and a generally very interesting course to study read more

I'm really enjoying this course, the two elements bouce off eachother very well. I do Medieval English as well as Medieval history and they work together for context and culture. I will say that the Medieval history can drag sometimes, but overall I really like this. Don't be scared to take the drama module! It's really fun, even if you hate acting. You perform with a script to little more than 10 people. It's a laugh mostly. If you can't chose between these two BA's just do it together. You won't regret it. read more
