English studies, University of Reading

My personal tutor is no good. Contact hours are perfect but need to be more in-depth studying

The course is amazing and engaging. However i believe that poetry in English. Whilst important needs to be improved

I really enjoy the course but it has a small amount of hours a week which is fine with me, but when you add up how much you’re paying for uni in general it’s a lot.

I'm really happy I've chosen to do English Literature at the University of Reading. I am currently a first year student and I love that I have had choice on what to do throughout my degree with the ability to select optional modules - and that I can continue to do so in later years. I am also looking forward to the future with the university: which allow term aboard placements form all over the world as well as having archives in Samuel Beckett and Children's Literature. Reading also has a complete sub-department for creative writing for anyone who is interested in writing their own works. :)

The first year offers such a wide range of material that when the opportunity comes along to choose your modules for second year, you have a good idea of how you want to specialise, and the variety of modules makes this possible. The lecturers make a subject which I thought I knew well so engaging and eye-opening, and you learn an abundance of transferable skills along the way.

All depends on the seminar leader you get as to whether a particilar module is enjoyable. But I found that many of the lecturers are fantastic, the course is challenging but enjoyable and if you really get involved you will thrive.

I have loved my course, it’s had provided me with so much variaty and choice that it would be impossible for me not to enjoy it!

Such a fun course, good friends just hard work

Really good range of modules to choose from - great content and support from staff

Nice combined course with great overlaps however the trips for theatre become very expensive!

Great course with fab support
