Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - English Literature and Philosophy

In UEA's BA in English Literature and Philosophy program, students will get the chance to engage in depth with both literary and philosophical texts from across the ages. They might study the meaning of life alongside Shakespeare's plays, environmental philosophy alongside contemporary poetry, or philosophy of mind alongside literary modernism. Splitting time between UEA's innovative Literature and Philosophy Departments, students will explore various forms of expression in interactive classroom activities. 

UEA’s engaging Literature and Philosophy Societies and Philosophy Public Lecture Series will offer even more opportunities to delve into ideas and texts. 

This course will equip students with a brilliant range of analytical skills for presenting complex ideas simply and adapting them to varied styles of communication to suit different audiences. This flexible skillset will be enhanced throughout the degree by employability workshops and other extracurricular opportunities, such as UEA's annual Working with Words event. Students will graduate with increased confidence in their skills and experience, and ready to share their ideas widely and make a difference in the world around them.  UEA graduates work across a diverse range of areas: the arts, journalism, publishing, teaching, and beyond.
