Course Summary
The Department of English and Humanities offers committed, enthusiastic and dynamic research-based teaching, with a constantly evolving curriculum sensitive to developments in contemporary culture. An MPhil/PhD is an advanced postgraduate research degree that requires original research and the submission of a substantial dissertation. Students are required to attend seminars on research skills and seminars on theory throughout the first two terms in the first year of study. Both the MPhil and the PhD are assessed by a viva voce examination. The thesis requirements for a practice-based project vary according to the nature of the research and can be discussed with the admissions tutors.
