History and English - BA (Hons)

University of Derby

English and History is an exciting, diverse and challenging course that not only incorporates the close analysis of historical sources and literature, but also considers the situations in which those materials were produced and read. This means your studies will include the intellectual and cultural history of art, film, philosophy, linguistics and sociology, as well as contemporary cultural politics. You will be introduced to a range of cultural expression from across the globe and from diverse historical periods. As a History and English student you will be able to use your ability to analyses literary sources and to interpret the past for the benefit of the wider community. We provide exciting opportunities for projects involving international arts and heritage organisations. Among recent initiatives, our students have worked with Derby Museums in thinking about the communication of the past to a wider public.
