**About the course** Combine your passion for linguistics with your love of literature. Our English Language and Literature (with a study abroad year) BA enables you to explore the relationship between linguistic structure and its literary heritage - and how language operates in both society and literature. You also have the opportunity to apply for a year studying abroad. You'll be part of a close-knit community of staff and students who all support each other. You'll work across a range of disciplines, tailoring your degree to your interests. **About Sussex** Sussex graduates change the world.

We are the only UK university surrounded by a national park, so you can step off campus to explore the hills and woodlands of the South Downs. The vibrant, colourful and creative seaside city of Brighton & Hove is just nine minutes away. With Brighton voted the happiest city in England for students, (Student Living Survey, Sodexo, 2018) there can be few better places to study.
