HomeStudying English °ÄÃÅÀúÊ·¿ª½±¼Ç¼ provides you with an inspiring setting; London is the centre of British literary life and you will be surrounded by world-class libraries, including the British Library. The department is one of the most highly regarded in the UK and has strong links with the literary world.
We teach through lectures, seminars and tutorials. Our one-to-one tutorial teaching is, we think, a unique provision in English departments in the UK. Practising writers, poets and playwrights are invited to give readings and the student-led English Society provides students with a programme of events, both social and academic, to supplement their modules.
We seek to give a historically based knowledge of all periods and offer a variety of approaches; for example, textual, social-historical and feminist. Full Year students take regular UCL examinations in the Summer Term, students admitted for a term option are required to submit a portfolio of essays.
Study Abroad students may only take English modules if they have been admitted to the department. Students admitted to English may take either all four modules in English, or three modules in English and one outside the department. Those admitted as joint students must take two modules in English.
Please note that the department does not consider Erasmus applications, with the exception of the Harting scholar.
Please note that this guide lists a range of popular modules offered as a representative sample. It is not exhaustive and, since the guide is published ahead of time, module options may have changed, been deleted or replaced. If you have very specific study needs or require confirmation of module availability for 2024/25, you are strongly advised to get in touch with the relevant Affiliate contact, listed on this subject page, before making an application.
