Student Views
"The main benefit of the programme
is definitely the one-to-one tutorial system. Students are allocated a
different tutor each year, and although the fortnightly essays may seem a
little heavy, the tailored feedback we receive is invaluable. The
opportunity to discuss poems, prose, and plays with experts in their
field is exciting for both students and their tutors."
Angelica Barbe, Third Year Undergraduate, BA English
"A degree in English also does not
mean you are limited to 'typical' careers e.g. journalism, teaching, academia
(but it's also great if this is what you want to do!) Studying English at UCL opens many doors for the future and provides you with
skills that are applicable in many different areas.
The Department is very forward-thinking, as well as being both helpful and welcoming"
