Graduate Certificate in English Studies

The Graduate Certificate in English Studies is designed for research students from Australia and overseas, secondary school teachers and those interested in studying English literature at an advanced level. Through the course you will bring together contemporary critical theory with literary narratives and investigate how and why literature still enjoys particular resonance in the 21st century. You will consider the ways in which the study of literature works in a specifically Australian cultural context. This course focuses on these core approaches: critical reading, literary history and literary comparison (including the question of English as a world literature).

This course provides the option of pursuing a career as a secondary-level English teacher, journalist, writer or literary critic and roles in the media, public and community service and academia. Employers value our English graduates because the program is designed to promote qualities of personal and intellectual autonomy, skills in research and enquiry, and a capacity for both information literacy and effective communication. Some students pursue this degree as a prelude to further advanced doctoral study, often with a view to an academic career, others, particularly school teachers, see it as an opportunity to upgrade existing skills for purposes of professional enhancement. Other students are motivated primarily by a particular interest in this subject.
