History and English BA (Single Honours)

You’ll explore two powerful subjects together, learning how real events inspire literature, and how books, plays, and poems can reshape history. You’ll explore postcolonial narratives and Cold War conflicts, the streets of London in literature, Shakespeare in the modern world, and the global forces that shape our lives today. Along the way, you’ll build the skills to question what you read, challenge dominant narratives, and understand voices that history overlooks. With hands-on projects, creative assessments, and the completion of your own independent research in your final year, this degree is designed to help you grow as a thinker, communicator, and creator, ready for whatever comes next.
