English Studies at the University of Stirling offers you the perfect chance to dedicate yourself to reading and enjoying a range of great novels, plays and poems from across the world. Your own creative writing can form part of this degree, too Ð as we believe it aids your understanding of literary style and technique and develops your imagination. ItÕs just one of the factors that makes our BA a little different from other English courses.

YouÕll study literary works from the medieval period to the present day, as well as learn about linguistics, creative writing and the history of the English language. Along the way, youÕll benefit from top-rated teaching, visits from outside experts and the annual staging of the Booker Prize Initiative on campus Ð giving you the opportunity to meet world-renowned contemporary authors and discuss their work.

You also have the freedom to take English Studies with one of 12 other courses and earn a combined honours degree tailored to your unique ambitions.
