The BA in English Literature and History enables you to examine literary works through a historical lens. This program treats both English Literature and History as distinct yet interconnected disciplines. Our curriculum spans centuries, from the Anglo-Saxon era to contemporary times, while encompassing global perspectives through postcolonial literature and worldwide historical studies. Faculty members are experts in their domains, offering comprehensive coverage of English literary traditions and British historical developments while fostering interdisciplinary connections. Students enjoy extensive specialization options and can utilize Manchester's exceptional archival resources, especially for Medieval and Victorian studies. As part of the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures (SALC), you'll join an academic community with a strong tradition of cross-disciplinary learning.

The University recognises the benefit of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and the opportunities it provides for applicants to develop independent study and research skills. We strongly encourage you to provide information about the EPQ in your personal statement and at interview. For this programme, as well as the regular conditions of offer, we may make students who are currently taking or completed the EPQ an alternative offer. For this course it would be AAA including History and English Literature plus the Extended Project at Grade A.
A-level exams should be taken at the same sitting, after no more than two years of study. If you have studied an advanced curriculum, where the examinations are spread over three years, consideration for an offer will be at the discretion of the admissions tutor. We may also require further information, in order to make an informed judgment on your application
