English Memorial University of Newfoundland

Program Description

The study of English focuses on two activities - reading and writing. In some courses, students may concentrate on writing. In others, the emphasis will be on reading and interpretation. But rarely are reading and writing separated. A degree in English is invaluable training in how language works. In the Department of English students will encounter ideas, both new and old, and texts, both experimental and traditional. Students will read some of the best works in literature and culture, and students will engage in provocative conversations about meaning, literary history, the future, their identity and their place in the world. All programs are designed to help students think critically, read closely, and write effectively. The Department of English offers select courses on Memorial’s Harlow Campus in England. Live theatre, literary landscapes, social justice in the arts: students can find all that and more across the pond at Harlow.
