What it isYou study literature, writing, and language — how texts work, what they mean, and how to analyze them closely. You can combine English with French translation, history, philosophy, or gender and women's studies, depending on which campus and specialization appeal to you. This suits people who want to think critically about ideas and communication, whether they're planning to teach, write, edit, or work in fields where strong analysis matters.A four-year Bachelor of Arts in English is a program where you study literature, writing, and language through close reading of texts from different periods, cultures, and genres. You'll analyze how stories, poems, and essays work and what they mean, rather than learning creative writing as your main focus. This suits people who enjoy thinking critically about books and ideas, and who want depth in a humanities subject.A combined degree that lets you study both arts and commerce side by side, rather than picking one. You take courses in subjects like history, English, or environmental studies alongside business, accounting, and management courses. This dual approach suits students who want business skills and professional preparation but also value deeper knowledge in humanities or social sciences.This program lets you earn both an arts degree and a teaching qualification at the same time, typically in four years. You choose a subject to study deeply (like English, history, or math) while taking education courses that prepare you to teach junior and intermediate grades. It suits students who know they want to teach and want to combine subject expertise with classroom training from the start, rather than doing them separately.
