Our postgraduate students can choose courses and modules from a selection that covers more than a thousand years of literary history, from medieval to contemporary times.

Here you will be taught by staff who are rich in professional experience, including distinguished poets, novelists and theatrical practitioners with expertise covering an amazing range of topics and authors.
