We're one of the top 50 English departments in the world (QS 2024). Our students explore, research and study a wide range of literary specialisms, from Old English to Digital Cultures and everything inbetween.
Our postgraduate programmes have an excellent staff-to-student ratio and we offer supportive guidance and expert tailored supervision so that you can pursue your own research interests.
You'll join an active community in the department. Our postgraduate students often run conferences, reading groups and events, as well as activies hosted by academic staff.
