A PhD in literature allows you to study an original project area in detail, with your final thesis demonstrating innovative ideas and challenging current thought. Research areas vary depending on the academic staff available to offer academic guidance, however there is a wide choice of genres and historical periods as well as the literature of particular nations or relating to specific political events. There are interdisciplinary courses combining the study of literature with research in many other areas of the arts and sciences; courses are also available in foreign language literature.
