European and Global History and English University of Malta

Overview

English

During the European and Global History and English course offered by 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, they 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. 

You will also be encouraged to participate in an Erasmus+ mobility programme for a more holistic and multicultural academic journey.

Applicants wishing to join the part-time mode must submit their application as full-time, and then include a note in the comments box of the application form, denoting their preference to be considered for the part-time option. Such requests will be considered by the Board of the Faculty.

European and Global History

The programme of study will give you an academic lens of European and Global history. By taking an academic appreciation towards the global timeline to where contemporary society finds itself, you will have a deeper and enriching understanding of the political, societal and cultural development throughout the years. 

Since we live in an ever-increasing globalised world, being knowledgeable about continental progress and differences from the East to West will provide you with an invaluable understanding of the interrelating histories of different and multilateral countries. 

You will also be encouraged to take on an Erasmus+ mobility programme to experience a multicultural and diversified learning experience.

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 they 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 the local post-graduate courses, as you will gain a more honed academic experience, as a number of the alumni have done so.
