Programme specification:

This is one of the country's most prestigious degrees in English Literature and Theatre Studies. The School is an internationally recognized research leader in English studies and possesses a long-established reputation for excellence in research and teaching. There is a large academic staff (over 40 full time), and about 1000 undergraduate students are being taught in the department at any one time.

The Single Honours English & Theatre Studies programme exposes students to a variety of approaches to creating and critically appraising drama and diverse modes of performance in addition to the wide range of subject areas across the spread of English Studies. Practice is offered as a mode of analysis and appreciation throughout the programme in ways that complement and promote skills activated in English modules.

Following a compulsory level 1, students are offered a high degree of choice within a structure that activates an appreciation of theatre theory, history and practice through analytical work and individual and collaborative creativity. Students are equally well exposed to a range of periods and genres of English Literature and have some opportunity to study issues of English language.

Students may apply for transfer to a European or an International Degree. The opportunity to apply for a work placement degree is also available. Those students who are accepted may participate in one of our Erasmus/Socrates schemes or go to one of a range of universities with which the University of Leeds has established links.
