What is English?
English is a fascinating and widereaching subject which enables you to investigate how language shapes, and is shaped by, the dynamic environments in which it is used. English covers a range of areas and texts. The study of literature will involve relating works to their historical and social context, as well as wider questions of applied linguistics, while creative writing will develop your writing skills and insight into the process of writing. It will train you in cultural, literary and linguistic theories, thus enabling you to develop the high-level creative and analytical skills needed for academic as well as professional interactions.
How will I study?
You will take a combination of compulsory and optional modules, which are taught in weekly seminars and combine traditional lecturestyle content with small group discussions, case studies and presentations. In your first year, you can expect around 12 scheduled contact hours a week and you will spend a significant amount of time each week on independent study. Staff offer individual and small group consultations and encourage you to seek their advice and feedback on your work. You will be assessed using a combination of individual researchbased essays, portfolios, exams, oral presentations and occasional group work.
Career prospects
The creative, analytical and communication skills developed during an English degree will equip you for the changing demands of the 21st-century workplace. English graduates have a range of career choices open to them. These include advertising, banking, broadcasting, business, communications, the creative industries, government service, human resources, journalism, law, lecturing, management, marketing, public relations, publishing, research and teaching. Some students may choose to undertake postgraduate study or teacher training.
