Almost all students who graduate a Literature and Society programme go on to follow master's programmes – at VU Amsterdam, elsewhere in the Netherlands, or even abroad. The 'English Literature in a Visual Culture' master's programme at VU is the most popular, but some students choose to follow a more linguistics-focused master's degree, or two-year master's programme in education that leads to a job in teaching. Some students take a research master's and eventually a PhD position. There are plenty of possibilities.
Having completed bachelor's and master's degrees in literature, your writing skills will be top-notch, and your ability to think critically and ask challenging questions will be expertly honed. Plus, you will have the capacity to distill large amounts of complex information into well-structured, clear communications. These skills can be put to use in academia, the public sector, publishing houses, media, and more.
