BA English Literature (Including Foundation Year)

About this course

Our BA English Literature is truly global and politically engaged, offering a wide range of module choices from different places, cultures & historical periods. Our BA English Literature (including Foundation Year) could be suitable for you if your academic qualifications do not yet meet our entry requirements for a three-year version of our arts and humanities courses and you want a programme that improves your skills to support your academic performance. Open to UK and EU applicants, this four-year course includes a Foundation Year (known as Year Zero) which is delivered by our Essex Pathways Department followed by a further three years of study in our Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies. During Year Zero you will study on our Arts and Humanities Pathway which will cover topics such as Analysing Film, Text and Image; and Theory of Knowledge. At the end of Year Zero all students who pass the Arts and Humanities Pathway will have a choice of which course to progress with. As well as BA English Literature students on the Arts and Humanities Pathway could also study BA Film Studies or BA History, amongst other courses. You are an Essex student from day one, a member of our global community based at the most internationally diverse campus university in the UK.
