Studies in English enhance and enrich your enjoyment of all forms of literature. In the English program you will read a wide variety of texts, study the English language, and investigate and practise the process of writing. The Department of English offers courses in literary periods that range from classic to contemporary, and that focus on writers from Shakespeare to Margaret Atwood. Our unique First-Year Program addresses principles and practices of literary studies through individually designed classes, each with its own focus and texts.
Students can select the class according to their interests.
Some examples of these classes are listed below. We have a culturally in-tune, politically active, and creatively engaged English Students' Association. Current employment of some of our graduates include librarian, film story analyst, teacher, artist, writer, journalist, rock star, professor, doctor, lawyer, civil servant, and many more. Our Honours Program, comprised of small seminars, provides solid advantage to students planning for graduate schools in English, Linguistics, Journalism, Women's Studies, and other academic and professional areas. Honours courses are also open to qualified students who want a more personal interactive education.
