English Literature

Course summary

The English department is a committed team of teachers who strive to inspire students with a high regard for literature. We consistently have high expectations of our students, their work and reading repertoire. Progression Routes: English Literature happily lends itself to qualifications in the educational sector - though other routes such as mentoring or tutoring would also benefit from a good degree in English. Traditionally an undergraduate degree in English is a successful platform for careers in education, public Relations, advertising, communications, publishing, Human Resources, editing, law, politics, and the ever popular journalism. A graduate in English is recognised as being a competent researcher, an effective communicator and a voracious reader which are valuable and transferable skills for most professions.
