Why study English Literature?
Because the study of literature is essentially the study of the world - how society works, how people work, how people interact, how people often shouldn’t interact- it gives us an understanding of the complexity of the world around us in an imagined sense. And every emotion we’ll ever feel, every situation we’ll ever face, every relationship we’ll ever have has already been written and is waiting to be explored. By you.
Studying English Literature leads to a broad range of careers from journalism, marketing and PR, publishing to TV and media.
