Today there are many different ‘Englishes’ and ‘literatures’ within UK higher education. You may think only of ‘English literature’, ‘English language’, or ‘English language and literature’.

Here, we help you identify some of the key differences in what is on offer as you seek that perfect course on which to build your unique future.
