English (Hons) University of Malta

Overview

During the  English (Hons)  degree from the University of Malta  you will become knowledgeable of different writing styles and will learn about the complex theories and critical approaches towards literature. 

By studying about canonical and non-canonical writers, both British and non-British, we will help you broaden your literary and linguistic horizon as you come to a firmer understanding of how literature captures the politics, tribulations, arts and culture of the world by defamiliarizing and reconstructing it on page. 

In your last year of studies, you may have the chance to carry out a research-based dissertation where you will be knowledgeable enough to carry out a research topic of your choice. You will also be encouraged to participate in an Erasmus+ mobility programme for a more holistic and multicultural academic journey.

Careers 

• As a graduate of this programme of study, you will have the opportunity to pursue a career, both locally and internationally, as an editor, proof-reader, content-writer, journalist, human resources specialist, writer, public relations specialist, paralegal and as a librarian. 

• Past students have also transferred to studying Law at an undergraduate level, using the literary foundation we provide to heighten their critical engagement in their research and discussions. 

• If you are interested in furthering your studies or are considering an academic career as a teacher or a lecturer, you are encouraged to enrol in one of our local post-graduate courses, as you will gain a more honed academic experience, as a number of our alumni have done so.
