Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - English Studies and Media Studies

English Studies at the University of Stirling offers students the perfect chance to dedicate themselves to reading and enjoying a range of great novels, plays and poems from across the world. Their own creative writing can form part of this degree, too – as we believe it aids students understanding of literary style and technique and develops your imagination. It’s just one of the factors that makes our BA a little different from other English courses.

The students study literary works from the medieval period to the present day, as well as learn about linguistics, creative writing and the history of the English language. Along the way, they will ll benefit from top-rated teaching, visits from outside experts and the annual staging of the Booker Prize Initiative on campus – giving you the opportunity to meet world-renowned contemporary authors and discuss their work.
