Course Overview
This joint honours degree attempts to reveal how ancient and modern societies talked about their worlds, how they lived, what they wrote, and how their literary and mythological outputs are embedded in and tell us about their lives. Both share an interest in ideas of identity, agency and representation, and will foster a critical and reflective understanding of ideas, language and cultural assumptions. You will get the opportunity to study a wide range of modules from mythology to religion and from classical literature to Tom Wolfe. You will also explore all genres of ancient, medieval and modern literature, such as epic, tragedy, comedy and satire.
In the first year, modules can be taken on a wide range of periods and themes. We also offer field trips both in the UK and overseas and encourage students to make use of our world-leading Roderic Bowen archive. The English part of the programme combines a commitment to the large historical picture of English (from Beowulf to contemporary literature) with a responsiveness to new directions and concerns of the subject precipitated by developments in critical and cultural theory. The culmination of the degree is the dissertation, where you are free to pursue a topic of your choice in line with our range of research and publication specialisms.
Students are also given the opportunity to participate in the wider research community and are always welcome at our research seminar series, which feature speakers from around the world.
Incorporated into the degree are opportunities for study abroad with our partners at Bologna (Italy), Tarragona (Spain) and Hobart and William Smith (USA). However, whether with us here on the Lampeter campus or exploring study abroad, you will always be part of the vibrant Humanities family. There is a strong sense of community among our students and staff, and the ratio of staff to students is such that students can have ready and easy access to all their lecturers. The small classes are always friendly and never intimidating, allowing staff to get to know you on a first-name basis.
