From the classics to poetry slams and from Chaucer to the contemporary, we look at how the world is perceived, described, analysed and changed through language. Our aim is to guide you towards mastery of reading, writing, listening and speaking; to help you move beyond the consumption of words to a greater understanding of their deeper meanings. Studying in our School is not just about analysing what has been written, it is also about imagining what and how we will write in the future.
Postgraduate courses
You'll develop specialist knowledge and refine your research skills. With taught programmes covering the full scope of English literature and ranging from Chaucer to the contemporary, there is lots of choice. Our innovative MA in Creative Writing will help you to develop your own voice.
On some of our programmes, you can spend part or all of your time studying at Kent’s Paris School of Arts and Culture.
The breadth of our research interests means we can supervise doctoral research in a range of areas, supported by our research centres.
