Ever wondered how stories are formed? Who shapes the narratives, and how different cultures react to them? Drawing from history, sociology, politics, film, philosophy, and gender studies, you’ll think deeply about the different stories around us. Unpick the aftereffects of colonialism, the importance of children’s literature, and who decides which books we remember. You’ll also consider why we don’t have a world system of literature, and whether such a thing can exist.
Literature without wallsWe offer a truly global degree. Not confined by national boundaries, we explore storytelling from across the world, from the cultural diversity of our London East End home to Asian and North African literature. You’ll also benefit from the endless libraries, galleries, concert halls and theatres right on your doorstep, where you can challenge your literary perspectives further. In the largest department of comparative literature in the UK, you’ll be taught by experts with extraordinary real-world links. They have global charity connections with the Wellcome Trust and feature on Stephen Fry’s ‘Edwardian Secrets’ podcast. Having gained sought after analytical and presentational skills, join our graduates in a range of careers from publishing to teaching and marketing to journalism. Whatever you decide is next for you, you’ll be ready to impress at interviews.

Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for.Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3.Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
