This course combination is designed so that what you learn in one subject will complement and enhance what you learn in the other. In your final year you can choose either to split your time evenly between your two subjects, or to specialise in one. Our flexible curriculum has been designed to create some amazing opportunities for you too. Your second year of study is divided into two semesters that enables you to take part in optional work placements or go on international exchange. If you've got two subjects that you really enjoy, or have career ambitions that demand a particular skillset, then a joint honours degree is a great choice for you. It enables you to shape your study according to your strengths, interests and career ambitions. Combining two subjects can give your degree an international or industry perspective that will make you stand out in the graduate employment market. By choosing English and History you’ll enjoy the freedom to choose from a wide range of optional modules, depending on your own preferences and interests. English literature has always closely reflected key historical events and by combining these two subjects you’ll be exposed to an exciting international mix of authentic and fictional voices. Our English degree combines a diverse curriculum with open-minded thought and a thriving arts scene. We offer expert teaching and the transferable skills which make English graduates so popular with employers. History is being made right now. It is a living, breathing subject that is constantly renewing, evolving and revealing new information that teaches us about the past, anchors us to the present and informs our future. Historians are passionate, focussed, curious, intellectual and open to new experiences and information. If this sounds like you, then read on. This course offers a broad curriculum, covering periods from AD 700 to the present day, with subject areas as diverse as dictatorship and warfare to youth and gender. We offer a wide range of options so that you have the greatest possible choice of areas to study in-depth.
