Choosing English English can be taken as part of a BA Joint Honours degree (DN500). It can also be taken on a part time basis (DN501, DN502). Check out the subjects you can study with English by looking at the diagram on page 33. Details of how to apply for these combinations are on page 184. DN500 also allows you to pursue a single subject honours degree in English after first year; this is limited to 12 students and based on first year results.
If you decide to pursue a single subject honours degree in English, you have additional choices: DN511 is a direct entry path, while English can also be combined with Drama (DN512) or Film (DN513).
