Explore how literature and the media shape our culture and society. At Sussex, you examine the relationship between literary work and other cultural forms, and analyse different media.

You’re taught by researchers who produce documentaries, films and books. You can shape your studies according to your interests and will be taught to produce your own critical and creative response to the world. We offer a bold, forward-thinking curriculum that allows you to study 1,000 years of literature in new and progressive ways. Our teaching has involved:

working with unique archives such as the private letters ofVirginia Woolf Doris Lessing

field trips to literary landmarks such as Woolf’s house and the Globe Theatre.

We encourage you to experiment with writing and understand its ability to transform the world we live in. You’ll be supported by our experts.
