At the Department of English, we aim to provide students with the skills and insights needed to engage with and interpret a wide variety of texts, including film and other media. We wish to introduce students to the rich diversity of literatures written in English, both locally and globally and to help students develop an awareness of, and sensitivity to, the English language and its uses.
