The BA (Hons) English Literature (with Foundation Year) at the University of Central Lancashire offers you a comprehensive pathway into the study of literary works, designed for those with the potential but not the traditional qualifications for direct entry.

This course is ideal if you are passionate about texts and eager to develop your analytical, critical thinking, and communication skills within a supportive academic environment. It provides a strong foundation for further study and a deep appreciation of literature's cultural significance.
This full-time, on-campus undergraduate degree is structured over four years, including a foundational year to build essential study skills for higher education. Throughout your studies, you will engage with a range of learning activities, including lectures, seminars, and workshops, with opportunities to choose optional modules in areas such as creative writing, children's literature, or the graphic novel. A distinctive feature is the Live Literature Project, allowing you to engage with contemporary writers and literary events. You will graduate with a BA (Hons) qualification, prepared for postgraduate study or careers in fields like publishing, education, marketing, and the creative industries.
