This combined degree programme will appeal to those who are interested in studying in English, but would also like to learn more about a different discipline. You can choose to study Theology, Philosophy or Computing as minor options. The degree will be 75 per cent English courses, and 25 per cent courses from your minor option.

Studying a combined degree with an English major will equip you with transferable skills that can be used in a wide range of contexts. This includes being able to understand and analyse complex ideas, communicate effectively in writing, think both laterally and systematically, produce persuasive arguments, discern and create meaningful patterns and (for Computing courses) interpret data. This will give you a sound basis for careers in areas such as the civil service, teaching and research, advertising and marketing, journalism, radio and television, arts administration, charity work and fundraising, museums, libraries, and some careers in the IT industry such as website management.
