New English courses
English at St Mary’s combines the best of the rigorous study of Literature with opportunities to explore the English Language, and gain a valuable vocational qualification in teaching English as a foreign language (CELTA).
The basis for all the English programmes at St Mary’s, is the study of literature from the Renaissance to the present day. Core teaching in Tragedy, Critical Theory, Renaissance culture, including Shakespeare, Romanticism and Modernism, provide the knowledge and skills for you to become an expert in the analysis of text and culture.
Our English Literature degree offers students the chance to investigate all aspects of literature in depth, on our beautiful historic campus, in a friendly department where we value above all the ambitions and needs of the individual student.
The BA in English and Drama at St Mary’s provides the best of an education in English Literature with opportunities to develop your knowledge of performance in theory and practice. Unlike like most degrees in these two subjects, this is a ‘Single Honours’ programme, meaning that it has been designed from the ground up so that the two disciplines – English Literature and Drama – feed off each other in creative and practical ways.
