Overview

English Literature is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Literature in English expects a high level of written English from the first week, which is why the language bar sits above the usual level. We currently work with 2 universities on this course across 2 cities.

Send us your transcript and English result and we will list the departments that would consider you, with the entry condition on each.

Entry requirements

Careers opportunities

Very few graduates are employed to translate full time, and the ones who are usually specialise in law, medicine or technology as well. What the market actually buys is a second language attached to another skill, so the strongest destinations pair the language with commerce, policy or teaching.

Roles graduates go into

  • Translator or interpreter
  • Localisation specialist
  • International account or project manager
  • Language teacher
  • Policy or research officer
  • Communications officer

Where they work

  • Translation and localisation agencies
  • International companies and their export teams
  • Government departments and diplomatic services
  • Language schools and universities
  • Publishing and media
After the course

For translators, membership of the Chartered Institute of Linguists or the ITI. For teachers, a recognised teaching qualification on top of the degree.
