English and Cultural Studies

English and Cultural Studies explores how meanings and values are circulated in society through textual forms, cultural conventions and social practices.

If you are interested in cultural texts and social issues; and developing your creative and critical thinking, research and writing skills, this course is for you.

You'll critically analyse contemporary texts, including literature, film, digital and social media, to understand how they encode and reflect cultural traditions.

You'll gain a thorough understanding of how society came to be the way it is today, and how to foster social change for the better.

This major is offered as part of the Bachelor of Arts. You can enhance your studies with a second major or choose from a range of elective units that support your career goals.
