English: learning, teaching, research

We have a first-rate, international reputation for outstanding teaching and research, as demonstrated by our School's current rankings:

• 7th for English and 6th for Creative Writing in The Complete University Guide 2018
• 9th in the UK for 'research power' (REF 2014)
• 45th for English Language and Literature in the QS World University Rankings 2017

We offer a unique combination of English disciplines, including literature from the Anglo-Saxon and medieval periods to the present day, English language from its origins to contemporary and applied contexts, drama and performance, and creative writing.
