During your PhD, you’ll benefit from our six interdisciplinary research centres alongside the Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities, and have the opportunity to build your academic career through conferences, publishing, and journal editing. We offer PhDs in English and creative writing, and our supervisors support research projects that cross periods and traditional disciplinary boundaries. We have particular strengths in medieval and Renaissance studies, 18th- and 19th-century studies, diasporic studies, contemporary writing, critical and cultural theory, and film and visual culture.
