With a degree in English, you have the following options to pursue. First let me advice you on the post graduate study and then will start advising you on careers.Post graduate study: You can do MA English, English literature, Journalism, Business and Management, Sociology, Applied psychology, film studies and also may do degrees at a PhD level. Completing the PhD you are eligible to work as a professor of English or other related subjects.

Career options with a BA English:
  • Teaching: You can teach English at school level with a basic Bachelors degree. If you are alternatively a higher degree holder like the MA English, you are eligible to work as a Lecturer and if you hold a PhD in English, you are eligible to work as an English professor.
