Bachelor of Arts in History and English Literature
Program Overview
Our joint honours BA History and English Literature course allows you to explore the richness of English literature alongside the rich history and variety of human experience.
Discover a thousand years of history whilst experiencing all the specialist areas on offer at the University of Reading. The Department of History's expertise covers a wide range of regions, from Europe and Africa to America, South Asia and the Middle East. The University of Reading ranks in the top 100 for Arts and Humanities globally (=92 in QS World University Rankings by Subject, 2025).
In your first year, your core History modules will explore people, politics, and revolution – finding out how people struggled for power in past societies – and the culture and concepts those societies developed. We will teach you the skills you need to study and research history through an individual project of your choice.
In your English literature modules, you will read more of authors and genres that you may already know (from tragedy to Gothic, from Shakespeare and Dickens to Plath and Beckett). But you will also encounter aspects of literary studies that may be less familiar to you, from children’s literature to publishing studies and the history of the book.
Our academics have published research on everything from medieval poetry to contemporary American fiction. 100% of our research is of international standing (REF 2021, combining 4*, 3* and 2* submissions – English Language and Literature). In the Guardian University Guide 2025, the University of Reading is ranked 9th in the UK for English.
