School Welcome
As one of the oldest schools of English in the UK, with a first-rate reputation for teaching and research, we celebrate literature and language in its diverse forms and constituent parts.
Our undergraduate degree offers a unique and exciting combination of disciplines, including Modern English Literature, Medieval English Language and Literature, Modern English Language and Drama, providing students with a rich and rewarding educational experience, based here at the beautiful University Park campus. There are a number of optional modules available outside of the School as well as the opportunity to study abroad for a semester at one of our partner institutions.
Many choose to continue their learning beyond their undergraduate years and pursue one of our taught courses at MA level. Alternatively, some courses are available through our popular distance-learning scheme. Within the School we also offer excellent research supervision at MPhil and PhD level and have a number of funding opportunities (including teaching fellowships) for some of our postgraduates. The School houses research centres in Applied Linguistics, Name-Studies, Viking Studies and Regional Literature and Culture (including specialist centres for the study of D.H.Lawrence and Byron).
Our teaching was rated ‘excellent’ in the latest Higher Education Funding Council report, while 95% of the School's research was judged to be of international quality and 35% world-leading in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise

We look forward to hearing from you.
