This plan offers a major sequence in English, designed for students who have a genuine interest in English and want to develop a special ability in it, including the ability to read perceptively and to write good English, and the ability to write creatively.

The usual prerequisite for enrolment in an Upper Level English course is a Pass in one Level 1 English course. A student who has not completed 6 Level 1 units of credit but is interested in one or more of the School's Upper Level courses may seek special permission from the Head of School to have the prerequisite waived. In considering such requests the School gives strong preference to a candidate with a Credit or higher result in a related discipline.

In all English courses, assessment is by a combination of the following: essays, class tests, tutorial participation, tutorial presentation, and examinations. Further details of assessment will be available at the first class in each course.

Any student who wishes to gain a major sequence in English must complete 6 Level 1, 24 Level 2 and 12 Level 3 (or 12 Level 1, 18 Level 2 and 12 Level 3) units of credit in English. Students undertaking a major sequence are permitted to enrol in other courses offered by the School which are additional to the requirements of their basic major sequence.

The availability of Upper Level courses varies from year to year. For available English (ENGL) courses, please refer to the Courses by Subject Area link in the Table of Contents.

Honours level study is also available in English.

Students interested in Honours should refer to the Honours plan record for entry requirements.
