ENGLISH

An English degree offers a wide range of study: the history of English literature from Beowulf to Shakespeare, to Dickens, to Atwood. An English degree will offer a varied look at different expressions of language such as poetry, drama, and novels. It can range from the study of critically acclaimed classics, to niche works carving the path of a new literary field. 

English is a window into the human experience and opens the door to understanding key historical and current social trends; being able to look at era defining works and controversial classics which have shaped the literature landscape across the centuries. 

An English degree equips you with an analytical and evaluative mind that produces creative and insightful conclusions. English degrees can lead on to jobs in publishing, marketing, media, and journalism as well as many other areas.
