COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course offers a wonderfully diverse curriculum. It covers major genres and periods of literature, and it provides opportunities to study lesser-known texts from around the world. You can focus on issues of gender, race, class, and identity while reading Medieval, Renaissance, Gothic, Victorian and Contemporary Literature.

Our regular teaching programme is enhanced by outside speakers and field trips which bring subjects to life and make the most of Kingston’s close location to central London. Recent visits have included Strawberry Hill House, the Globe Theatre, the Science Museum, the Royal Opera House and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Year-long modules allow you to study subjects in depth and build knowledge over time; through the dissertation and research projects, you’ll be supervised by internationally recognised and published researchers allowing you to develop your own critical voice.
