My comments about places like UWE are about the degree in English Literature specifically.
As I said, most universities in the country have a degree in English Literature/Literary Studies etc etc.
At most universities, the curriculum will be largely the same, as will the methods of teaching.
So the differences will be in the emphases in the curriculum (only contemporary literature, for example, sets off alarm bells for me) and the engagement of academic staff in developing new knowledge - publishing books & journal articles, and training Doctoral students (who make excellent teachers in EngLit programmes). At a less research-led university, the students won't be pushed to co-create this new knowledge, because the staff won't be doing it either, except for what HEFCE called in the lat REF "pockets of excellence."
The thing also to understand is that the big story that the NSS and now the TEF tell us is that the UK has an internationally excellent education system. The NSS is on a 5 point scale, and the TEF awards Gold, Silver Bronze - even Bronze is above the baseline benchmarked standards required by the QAA (Quality Assurance Authority).
Contrary to some pps on this thread, a good EngLit graduate is very employable. They have excellent skills in critical analysis, searching for data, knowing how to find things out, knowing how to tell stories, structure narrative, and also how to analyse how that narrative works. Never underestimate the qualities of a graduate who knows how our language works at a very deep level - myth, story-telling, emotional colouring of language, subtleties of meaning.
