English studies, University of Reading

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

Such a fun course, good friends just hard work

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.

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

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!

Great course with fab support

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

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.

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

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.

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. :)
