The Literature programs in the Department of English Language and Literature focus on an understanding of the traditions, themes and dynamics of imaginative writing in English, within its various historical and cultural contexts. Students choose courses from a broad range of historically-organized courses, courses in literary genres, and courses in the history of language, criticism and theory. The program in Studies in English and Professional Writing focusses on the theoretical and practical applications of writing in and for a range of professional contexts. The Department aims in its programs to foster an informed and critical intelligence, a mastery of the best uses of language, and an appreciation for the social and personal centrality of powerful imaginative and expository writing across times and cultures.

The Department offers a BA Honours in English Language and Literature, a BA Honours in English and Contemporary Culture, a four-year degree with Major in English and Professional Writing, a three-year program leading to the BA Pass degree, and combined honours and pass degrees in English and another subject.

The Department also offers a Minor in English Language and Literature and a Minor in Writing, as well as a Certificate in Rhetoric and Professional Writing.
