Undertaking independent research into an aspect of literature or creative writing which particularly interests you is a cornerstone of your degree. A dissertation gives you the opportunity to study a subject in much greater depth than usual and, with guidance from a supervisor, you will rigorously explore your literary or creative topic, formulate a research question and develop a distinctive argument or creative project. A dissertation can also form a good basis if you wish to go on to study at postgraduate level.

This module has been designed to ensure that students have the specific English language skills needed to study as an undergraduate student. Students are also taught how to show the sources of the information they use in their work by referencing their work using the Harvard referencing convention.

The BA English Language and Literature Dissertation enables you to bring together the fruits of your studies in English Literature, Language, and Linguistics or to focus on one or the other field according to your interests. You may choose a topic within English Literature, within English Language and Linguistics, or combine these fields. You will independently develop a topic for study that pursues your interests, and develop it with the support of your supervisor(s). An optional joint supervision arrangement between English and Languages, Cultures, and Linguistics will enable you to access supervision in both disciplines and support you to bring linguistic, literary, and cultural studies approaches together, as appropriate to your chosen topic.

English has always been on the move. As a literary language, it has not only travelled from and back to England; lines of influence between texts, authors, publishers, editors, book technologies, and readers traverse the globe in multiple directions, between many places. Correspondingly, literary genres have always been mobile. They have taken shape and become significant in different ways across world cultures, and through encounters between different languages. This module gives you the opportunity to explore how ‘English’ as a literary language; as an overlapping range of imaginative genres; and as an academic discipline has always been in transit.
