Bachelor of Arts with a Major in English

At Macquarie you can enjoy not only the literature of Great Britain but also literature from around the world. The English major fosters analytic and creative thought through reading of texts from diverse sources including literary essays across various subject areas such as literature, art, music, film, politics, food and travel.

Students will gain an informed, global, cross cultural perspective of the world and develop written and verbal communication skills that will enhance employment prospects in any industry.

This rank has been converted into equivalent scores for various recognised international high school qualifications and university entrance examinations, including global qualifications like the International Baccalaureate (IB) and GCE A-Levels.
