| What it is | You 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. | You design your own degree by combining courses from different departments rather than following a single major. This program emphasizes translation studies and modern languages, so you can build expertise across multiple fields while deepening language skills. It suits students who are curious about how different subjects connect and want more control over what they study than a traditional single-major program offers. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
