Combine specialist study, theoretical inquiry and interdisciplinary investigations to explore literature, culture and history.
On this course, you’ll have the opportunity to pursue innovative work as you shape your course to your particular interests. This can include a focus on a specific period or concept, or engaging with ideas across a wide historical range.
Our faculty research expertise spans the medieval to the modern and contemporary periods. The diverse research interests in the Department of English mean that you’ve got expert support in the topics you choose to focus on. Our particular strengths lie in:
querying the materiality and the body
ecology and political economy
philosophical approaches to literature
decolonisation and radical politics

poetics and experimental writing.
You’ll learn about the theoretical ideas and conceptual methods that underpin research in literature. When you graduate, you’ll have the skills necessary for a range of careers, including education and publishing, or you can choose to pursue further study.
