Fewer Students Are Studying English. Does it Matter?

WORDS Posted: February 11, 2019 2:56 pm

English has lost more students than other subjects. Undergraduate enrollments on English degrees have also fallen: from an all-time high of around 51,000 in 2011/12 to 39,000 last year, although the proportion of English A-level students who go on to study it at university has hovered around 14% for a decade. It makes sense to view the decline of English studies as part of a bigger, international story about the weakening of the humanities, and its counterpoint: the rise in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths). – The Guardian
