Summary

The MPhil in English Studies is an innovative, flexible 9-month course offering first-class teaching from a faculty with a distinguished international reputation. Students will be encouraged to pursue bold lines of enquiry relating to literature, criticism and culture. Within a flexible framework, students will be able to study particular areas in depth, drawing on the wide-ranging programme of seminars available to build a coherent, focused sense of historical or conceptual specialism, or to explore very diverse topics. Work towards an individual research project, assessed in the form of a dissertation, takes place throughout the course. Each student works closely with a member of the Faculty on their chosen dissertation topic while participating in collaborative seminars and classes. Extensive training in vital skills for postgraduate work in the humanities is provided.
