The English subject at Ulster University forms part of the School of Arts and Humanities in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences. It is a vibrant and diverse centre for the study of English literature and creative writing and hosts an active and thriving body of postgraduate researchers. Individual scholars within the department are engaged in an extensive range of research fields which maintain and enhance the broader scholarly practice of English Studies across the globe, from Early Modern, Eighteenth Century and Victorian literature and culture, through to Modern, Contemporary, and Creative Writing, as well as Critical Theory. Several of the researchers working in these areas also distinctively contribute to a significant focus on the study of Irish and Ulster-Scots Literature, which is also strongly and widely represented in the department’s teaching practice.
Applicants should hold, or expect to obtain, a First or Upper Second Class Honours Degree in a subject relevant to the proposed area of study. We may also consider applications from those who hold equivalent qualifications, for example, a Lower Second Class Honours Degree plus a Masters Degree with Distinction. In exceptional circumstances, the University may consider a portfolio of evidence from applicants who have appropriate professional experience which is equivalent to the learning outcomes of an Honours degree in lieu of academic qualifications.
