Master of Research - English

Program Description

The MRes in English is designed to allow studets to develop and complete an independent research project in English Literature and/or Language, with the support of a well-qualified supervisor. An initial Research Methods module will ensure that students have the necessary skills to advance to the dissertation.

Students' supervisors will be part of a team of active researchers, with a specialism in the field they wish to pursue, and therefore well-placed to help them shape their project. Students will also be joining a dynamic community of postgraduate researchers in the Department of English and Faculty of Arts and Humanities. While students will be developing as an autonomous and independent researcher, the Department recognises the importance of academic guidance and pastoral care, and offers a supportive and creative environment in which to learn and study.
