We are a medium-sized team with an atmosphere of friendly informality. We work hard to make students feel at home so they achieve their very best. Dundee is both traditional and innovative. We develop our courses with a consciousness of today’s student needs and preferences, while reflecting our commitment to the cutting-edge ideas in our field.


Exciting new developments include the introduction of creative writing modules in Levels 3 and 4, and the growth of Film Studies, with two joint Honours degrees possible.


Kirsty Gunn is our Professor of Creative Writing and is a critically acclaimed award-winning novelist who teaches at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as organising readings by visiting novelists and poets.


The Film Studies team has strong links with the Dundee Contemporary Arts Centre, Dundee’s unique cinema and art gallery, and helps organise film programmes which bring together students and the general community.


The JOOT Theatre Company is a drama group which specialises in medieval and early modern theatre. The company is largely comprised of current English students and was invited to perform at the Sorbonne in Paris in 2008.


English also offers Erasmus exchanges with three European Universities: Salzburg, Freiburg and Thessaloniki.


If you enjoy reading and writing, want to develop skills in independent and imaginative critical thinking and have a lively interest in culture and creativity, then English at Dundee is for you.


employability


English is an adaptable subject, opening a flexible range of career options. Employers are often drawn to English graduates as they possess good written and spoken communication skills and a broad understanding of the world. They have also received rigorous training in working independently and thinking critically. Indeed, statistics show that students of English are often better at securing ‘graduate-level’ posts than comparable humanities graduates.


Teaching is a regular occupational choice of our graduates but by no means their only available career path! Many enter general management, consultancy, the civil service, as well as research, journalism, library and information science, publishing and, increasingly, creative industries, especially the media. In fact, our graduates find themselves prepared for a wide variety of occupations.

Our methods aim to be both lively and innovative. Consequently, English has received the highest ratings for Teaching Quality Assessment. We employ a wide range of methods, from lectures and film screenings to small-group teaching. Most modules are assessed by tailored combinations of coursework and formal examinations, but students encounter a great variety of assessment approaches.


In the 2010 National Student Survey we were ranked 2nd in Scotland, and 95% of our students said they were satisfied with the quality of the course.
