What will I learn?

Studying English literatures will get you thinking creatively about the English language. You will analyse theories, critique prose and verse, and take a more critical look at the signs and words surrounding us every day. Develop in-demand skills including analytical thinking, exceptional written and oral communication skills, and the capacity to appreciate differences in cultural perspectives.At UOW, English literatures are studied with regard to style, theme and form, and in relation to questions of race, gender, sexuality, class and nation. This major introduces you to a broad range of texts, novels, poetry, essays, short stories, film, diaries and letters from medieval times to the modern, with a strong international focus. We have a broad list of subjects that you can choose from depending on your area of interest, including literature and film, romantics, US literature, Victorians, Shakespeare, and Indigenous literature.
