SPECIALISATION

Creative Writing

Linguistics
Linguistics explores the  way language works and its origins, within a more scientific framework than that commonly used in an English language and literature degree.

Postcolonial Literature
Postcolonial Literature exposes students to  issues of relevance to postcolonial writing such as identity and gender, diaspora, and the various debates surround postcolonial discourse in academia.
