Welcome to the Department of English and History You’re joining an energetic community of students and academics. We practise a diverse range of subjects including language and linguistics, literary and cultural studies, social and political history, creative writing, film studies and Chinese: each subject is distinctive, but they are united by common intellectual values and a belief in dialogue. We hope your degree at Edge Hill University will be a stimulating and rewarding experience. We’ll do everything we can to make sure you enjoy your course and get the maximum benefit from it.
In Freshers’ Week you will acclimatise to your new surroundings, find out more about how the University works, and meet some of the staff who will be teaching and supporting you. There will be group activities providing essential course information, and also individual meetings with your Personal Tutors, who will stay with you throughout your degree. It’s also about getting to know each other and making new friends.
You’ll receive a lot of information in these early weeks; don’t worry if not all of it sticks at first. You can always get further advice, especially from your Personal Tutor or Programme Leader: don’t hesitate to contact us at any time by e-mail, by phone, or in person. If in doubt, just ask. It’s especially important to find the Department Office early on: it’s in room C.17 on the ‘Clough’ corridor along the side of the Main building, adjacent to the running track. The office is a key source of information and practical assistance.
Don’t waste a minute of your time at university: make the most of all the opportunities that come your way. Your degree will change your outlook on life and open new doors for you. It should also be quite a lot of fun. We look forward to working with you.
