The MLitt in Interdisciplinary English Studies focuses on the representation, imaginary transformation and symbolisation of culture, as mediated through language and literature.

This is achieved by drawing on the interdisciplinary strengths of the School of Humanities, and the English Studies section within the school.

The course will prepare you to think about the ways in which all aspects of a culture depend on narrative, fiction and language. You'll be able to apply this to working in education, business, government or a third sector organisation.

The course also provides a preparation for undertaking a PhD, which generally requires a Masters qualification as an entry requirement.

Study with us

• Opportunity to take your studies to a more specialised level or in a new direction
• Find connection between literary studies and other academic disciplines
• Benefit from the guidance of an expert supervisor
• Focus mainly on literature but also on other cultural practices and language

Our main focus in psychology is the study of human behaviour.

Studying with us, you'll look at conditions of behaviour – how we learn, remember, co-ordinate our actions and interact with others – and the reasons for differences between individuals, such as personality or intelligence.

Due to the popularity of the course and performance criteria for entry into Honours (Year 4) the numbers admitted to Years 2 and 3 of the course are limited.

Mathematics is everywhere: weather forecasting, cash machines, secure websites, electronic games, liquid crystal displays and statistical data analysis. Our course shows how mathematics is applied to solve practical problems, meaning you’ll learn the skills that employers need.

Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1 you'll study three subjects, including your chosen subject(s).

Study with us

• Study the science of behaviour and the reasons for differences between individuals, across the lifespan
• Acquire skills in communication, numeracy and critical thinking
• Understand how mathematics is applied to solve practical problems

The image of chemistry is rapidly changing. It’s recognised as an important aspect of forensic science, technological advancement and environmental protection. Inspirational teachers convey the exciting challenges chemists face and the importance of continuous discovery to our daily lives.

Uniquely, your final year project can be in educational approaches to chemistry, such as the development of practical experiments for schools.

Transferable skills are taught in all years and include IT, scientific writing, presentation skills, report writing and problem-solving.

You can study at a European university for one year of your degree.

It’s possible to switch between the other MChem courses and also the following shorter BSc degrees within the first three years:
