Studying
English is rewarding, enjoyable and prepares you for the future. Reading
literature allows us to question our world, discover new ideas and ways of
being, evaluate historical and social processes, and think through the
complexities of our own times. Our degree in English Literature is designed to
give you a deep understanding of the literary past and the literary present.
You'll study texts in English written from medieval times to now, and you'll
explore literary traditions ranging from the local to the global. You'll be
taught by world-leading experts who will introduce you to exciting and
challenging critical and theoretical approaches. By choosing from a diverse
range of options including interdisciplinary and creative writing units, you
can shape your degree to align with your own interests. In your final year
dissertation, you'll be able to work independently on a topic entirely of your
own devising. At Concordia, you'll join an
intellectually curious and friendly community, in a city full of culture.
