About the course

Explore writers, forms and genres - and see where your passion for literature will take you.

On this course, you’ll take your interest in literature to the next level. You’ll explore everything from Elizabethan lyrics to New York stories. You’ll consider key social issues through a literary lens - like gender, sexuality and mental health. You’ll discover new interests. And you’ll have the freedom to specialise in the area you care about most.

You’ll join a close-knit community where everyone knows each other well. And you’ll learn directly from leading experts who are internationally recognised in their fields.
