What's it like to study here?
As the oldest department of English Literature in the UK and part of one of the largest and most diverse Schools in the University of Edinburgh, we are the ideal place for postgraduate study.
Our interdisciplinary environment brings together specialists in all periods and genres of literature with experts in theatre and creative writing. Working with colleagues across the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures (LLC) and the wider University, we support research that crosses boundaries between both disciplines and languages.
