The verdict
Worth considering
If you want a reputable, low-cost degree with a versatile syllabus and campus facilities, this is a smart pick. The 55% placement rate and recruiter mix show promise, but BA English paths often need upskilling or further studies for high-growth careers. Skip if you’re chasing a guaranteed tech paycheck right out of college.
