Course description

Does anything provide access to the lives and minds of other people and cultures so deeply as a book? What other medium immerses us so fully in another world, wherever we are and whatever else we have going on?

Combine your passions for reading, writing, and reflection on this thought-provoking, searching programme, as you explore literature in a global context, looking in-depth at language and literary history within texts and on the international literary stage. Examine a wide range of authors, in English and translation, with modules including theory, introductions to reading drama, fiction, and poetry, classical and contemporary heroics, medieval literature, satire, and metafiction. With a solid foundation in genres and periods in years one and two, and research-based modules in years three and four, graduate as a confident and enthusiastic writer, researcher, and reader, and set out on a path to become the main character of your life-story.

**Please note that UHI North Highland, UHI Outer Hebrides and UHI West Highland have changed their names to become UHI North, West and Hebrides. This will not impact on your choice of course or how and where you will study.**
