English Multidiscipline

English as an academic discipline encompasses the study of literature, language, creative writing, and drama, but few degrees ask you to combine two of these dimensions in a structure that genuinely reflects how they inform one another. An English multidisciplinary degree treats the field as the integrated intellectual territory it actually is, allowing you to trace connections between, for example, how language works and how literary texts deploy it, or between dramatic performance and the creative writing that produces scripts and plays.

At the University of Salford, this three-year full-time BA is unique to the institution: an innovative programme designed to meet the professional and social challenges of today by allowing you to craft your own route through English. You will select two subjects from English Literature, English Language, Creative Writing, and Drama, studying them in genuine combination throughout the degree. This structure means that you can follow your particular passions within the English field while also developing the cross-disciplinary awareness that makes the degree unusual.

The programme is designed not as a compromise between subjects but as a space in which the connections between them become a source of intellectual enrichment. With a typical entry tariff of 120 UCAS points, the course is accessible to students with a genuine love for language, literature, and storytelling.

Graduates from this kind of multidisciplinary English programme are well placed across a wide range of careers. Publishing, journalism, copywriting, teaching, arts administration, drama and community arts, marketing and communications, the civil service, and the creative industries are all natural destinations. The breadth of the degree means graduates are adaptable and can demonstrate competence across multiple dimensions of the English field.

Postgraduate options include creative writing, literature, drama, journalism, and publishing programmes.
