English Literature teaches students to think shrewdly, to interpret and challenge information, to read between the lines, and construct a convincing argument. English students gain confidence and experience in developing their ideas and defending their positions. They know how to see situations from different points of view, and to empathise with many perspectives. Above all, English rewards students with a versatile set of skills that will be useful in any walk of life and valued by any employer.
