Current English students and recent graduates tell their own stories.
English
English at The University of Auckland involves the study of texts of all kinds. We examine fiction, drama and poetry, and also other types of writing.
English and your career
English provides excellent training in critical thinking, analytical skills and in organising and expressing your ideas. Our graduates have careers in administration, the arts, business, communications, government service, publishing, teaching and libraries.
Study options in English
English offers diverse opportunities to study the literature of different eras and countries. You can also focus on writing itself - the theories that relate to it, and your own writing practice. You can explore the intersections between literature and art, critical and creative practices.
English is available for both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, and is taught by the Department of English.
