Master’s

Study and research within our dynamic English Department here at King’s, one of the largest and oldest departments of English in the UK.

 

The King's College London Department of English has a thriving and diverse community of postgraduate students pursuing taught MA programmes or doctoral research in English or Creative Writing. Our MA programmes range from the medieval to the contemporary and all provide specialist teaching, often in partnership with London’s cultural institutions, expert dissertation supervision and research training.

We have over one hundred doctoral students in the Department working on an impressive range of projects covering all aspects of English studies from the medieval to the contemporary. On our PhD programmes, supervisory guidance is augmented by a full, staged programme of training, professionalisation and skills events.

Postgraduate students gather at our student-run, seminar series, ‘The Abstract’, as well as at our postgraduate conference and other Department social events and seminars. We are a welcoming and supportive community and we look forward to hearing from you.
