Why study this degree?
Here at The University of Notre Dame Australia, our Bachelor of Arts with a Major in English Literature is a program designed for aficionados of the written word. Beginning with the age of Shakespeare, this degree will introduce you to the whole span of English Literature through the ages including romantic poetry and the Gothic novel. Moving through the ages, you will then explore current theories of modern theatre, children’s literature, and the challenges faced by Australian authors in the Postcolonial context.
