What our students say:

‘I think this is an invaluable degree. It will give you the critical skills to contextualise information and grasp the core concepts of an issue in any academic situation, and outside the academic world as well. Not to mention of course the obvious advantages of having a solid degree from a world renowned university. Employers are conscious of how valuable a critical arts degree is in creating forward-thinking employees. I think the skills you learn in an English degree such as language-based critical analysis, strong writing skills, quick reading skills etc are all enormously helpful in any arts or humanities work context.’
