    If you really want to study English at UCD do the Single Major. Taking English as a joint major/minor will only provide you with a semblance of knowledge and understanding in English literature. Single Honors English offers small class sizes, more debate and you build up a better sense of rapport with lecturers and tutors. You also write a dissertation in your final year which will stand to you if you decide to take on postgraduate studies.

    This will severely limit your future prospects or make life a bit tougher to overcome such precise undergraduate study in order to get a job. I know people who have studied English as a double major and gone on to pursue and complete PhDs in literature. It was no hindrance for them. It probably gave them a much greater knowledge base which they then used to specialise in their masters and then their doctorate. Almost every English department now requires an MA and so there would be the place to specialise in your subject area.
