What you studyEnglish StudiesTranslation StudiesDesignMarketingMedia and Communication StudiesEnglish StudiesMedia and Communication Studies
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.This program teaches you how to design clothing and accessories, market fashion products, and communicate fashion ideas through media. Unlike a pure design program, it combines creative skills with business and communication strategy, so you learn both how to make fashion and how to sell it. It suits people who want to work in design, branding, styling, or fashion media rather than just one of those areas.English Literature & Media Studies combines the close reading and analysis of novels, poetry, and plays with the study of how messages spread through film, television, advertising, and digital platforms. Unlike a straight English program, it pairs literary texts with media production and theory, so you examine both written works and visual culture. This suits students who love reading and writing but also want to understand how meaning gets made and shared across different mediums.
