Careers

A degree in English from the University of Exeter provides you with an excellent general understanding of language, literature and culture. During your course, alongside gaining subject related knowledge, you will develop generic skills such as researching, critical analysis, independent study, time management and communication skills.

Many of our graduates choose to study their chosen area of interest in more depth by following a higher degree course. Others use their knowledge in the teaching profession, publishing or the media. Yet other students use their generic skills to enter such diverse areas as government administration, law, finance and management.
