What it isYou study how to read, analyze, and write about literature and media texts — novels, films, journalism, and digital content. This program combines the close reading skills of traditional English literature with practical training in writing and media production, so you're not just studying texts but learning to create them yourself. It suits people who want to explore how stories and ideas work across different forms and may want careers in publishing, communications, or creative fields.An Honours BA lets you specialize in one or more subjects from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences while building a broad education across different fields. You choose your major — such as English, Anthropology, Computer Science, or Creative Writing — and take courses in that area alongside electives that let you explore other disciplines. This program suits people who want depth in a subject they care about but also value exposure to different ways of thinking and fields of knowledge.
