Pursue your passion for English Literature while developing the knowledge, skills and experience you need to become an educator across diverse settings.

- Explore important current themes in Education, such as social justice, inclusion, wellbeing, sustainability, and education policy.- Learn to communicate confidently and creatively in different ways with a range of audiences.- Build skills that employers look for, including research, teamwork, and the ability to understand and interpret complex information.Are you passionate about changing lives through education? Explore the diverse worlds in literature and build an understanding of how education transforms individual outcomes and societies. Our English Literature and Education degree enables you to acquire specialised subject knowledge while developing practical and professional skills for a range of careers in education, culture and the Arts. In your Education modules, you’ll develop a portfolio of skills that employers look for, such as creative thinking, taking initiative, networking, and problem solving. You’ll explore these skills through the lens of sustainability, global citizenship and digital literacy, from local and global perspectives. Every book we pick up gives us different perspectives on the world. Studying English and Education in combination encourages you to gain a global perspective and apply it to pressing issues, debates, and a deeper understanding of the human condition. From classic texts to new and unfamiliar writing, you'll be asked to think differently about what ‘literature’ can be and to explore original ways of reading and analysing it. Many of our graduates choose to become teachers in schools, but that's not the only path open to you. We'll support you in achieving your aspirations as a professional educator – however they develop during the degree.
