Bachelor of Arts in English

Words matter. English majors at SLU-Madrid gain in-depth knowledge of the richly varied forms of British, American and world literature written in English. Our graduates have an increased intercultural awareness and strong research, analytical and communication skills that prepare them for a wide range of professions.The English major is structured around the study of literature in its historical context, as an art form and as cultural critique. The major also has a rhetoric component. Advanced seminars explore major periods and authors in British, U.S. and postcolonial literature, as well as significant themes and theories (e.g., nature, travel literature, war and literature, gender and sexuality, ecocriticism).Writing is central in every part of the University's English program, both as the medium through which we hone our ability to reflect upon what we read and as a subject in its own right. Thus, along with literature courses, in which writing plays a principal role, you may take courses in various genres of creative writing and professional writing. These courses can enhance both personal creativity and professional competence.

• the decision can be made on your latest or predicted grades and is then conditional on your final grades and exam results.

Unless exempt, you must also show academic English proficiency (see the English requirement)
• letters of recommendation, a CV/résumé and an admission interview are optional.

The official programme record lists English. It does not publish a programme-specific minimum language-test score, so no score is invented here.
