Bachelor of Arts in Literature and Sociology (with Placement Year)

Program Overview

Travel the world with the turn of a page. Our literary expertise is geographical as well as chronological - here you don’t just study English literature, you study world literature in English. Alongside the English literary canon, you read some of the most important novels, poems, and plays from the United States, the Caribbean and Europe.

Studying literature alongside sociology means that you can investigate what connects people with each other, as well as what divides them. We consider every aspect of our daily lives, from how we relate to politicians, celebrities and friends, to how we define ourselves, our families, and others. You can study topics ranging from digital media and society, to psychiatry and mental illness, to Japanese culture, to the art, film and personal testimony of war.

Topics from both literature and sociology you can choose from include:

  • Modernist cityscapes in literature
  • Writing of the US South
  • Victorian literary realism
  • Culture, identity and subjectivity
  • Citizenship, multiculturalism and human rights 

Placement year
