What will I learn?

Our academic staff have expertise in early modern writing, and particular strengths in nineteenth-century literature and culture, and twentieth and twenty-first century British and American literature. As a doctoral student, you can undertake your studies on a full or part time basis under the supervision of internationally recognised researchers who will welcome you to a vibrant research environment.
