LLB Law with Literature will give you a thorough training in the complementary disciplines of law and literature, by developing critical, reflective, creative and analytical skills. In addition to emphasising aspects common to both subjects, you explore the differences between them, and the approaches taken within law and literature disciplines. You will also develop a critical awareness of the nature of law within its social context and its relationship with literature.
You will cover key topics from both Law and Literature, with the opportunity to choose from a wide range of optional modules too:
United States, Caribbean and Transatlantic literature, Poetry, contemporary, experimental, avant-garde and political writing
Copyright and trademark law, International environmental law
At Essex we dont just prepare you to become an outstanding legal or literature professional. We stimulate your desire to pursue justice and equip you with the skills and knowledge to become an agent for change, whatever career path you choose.
From the start of the degree, we challenge you to think deeply, broadly, and strategically about careers. Over the first two years, alongside law and literature topics, you will take a career management module designed to help you identify personal strengths and goals, understand what employers are looking for and enhance your employability profile. We also hold an annual law fair, attended by law firms and vocational qualification providers.
Our graduates pursue careers in law and in a wide range of other sectors including business, commerce, accountancy, insurance, banking, central and local government, academia, teaching, social work and the police force.
