Exploration and discovery are at the heart of literary study at Leicester. Our degrees put a wide range of English literatures at your disposal, leading you from the Middle Ages through to the globalised literature of the present day. At every step you’ll have the freedom to organise your studies around your own interests, and focus on the areas that appeal to you. You'll also love our annual Literary Leicester festival with amazing guest speakers.
