Overview

The English (Hons) degree at Plymouth Marjon University considers the classics and chronology of literature in English, even as it asks you to question why some books are considered classics and others are not. During it, you will explore boundary-pushing forms of story, including adaptations, fanfiction, digital narratives, and flash fiction. In your third year, our dystopian fiction module – Discord, Disaster & Dreams – looks at George Orwell’s influential and controversial Nineteen Eighty-Four and powerful, complex novels such as N.K. Jemisin’s The Fifth Season.

Careers

With this BA English (Hons) degree behind you, there are many options ahead! If you are interested in publishing, journalism, editing or copywriting, then an English degree would give you a head start on the competition. Equally, English is a great stepping-stone into education (either primary or secondary), and there is the option of further study at Master’s level if you decide that you are not ready to put your books down!
