Over the course of your three years of study, you will develop a solid understanding of the frameworks and methodologies that can be used to study English literature as well as an understanding of how the genre has evolved over time. You become more perceptive to the norms and expectations that influence communication, as well as the interactions between them in a particular text. Additionally, you gain a critical appreciation for the ways in which an understanding of other disciplines and how they relate to English literature can enhance one's comprehension of that literature.
