English Literature degree scrapped from university because it is 'no longer viable' https://www.gbnews.com/news/canterbury-christ-church-english-literature-degree-scrapped "A British university has announced it is ditching English Literature degrees - because not enough students want to study it. Canterbury Christ Church University announced it will discontinue its English Literature degree programme from September 2025. The decision comes as a notable blow to Canterbury's rich literary heritage, with the city being the setting for Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and birthplace of literary figures Christopher Marlowe and Aphra Behn. The university confirmed the course is "no longer viable in the current climate" as student numbers continue to fall."
