We are a world top 30 university for English Language and Literature (QS World University Rankings by Subject). The structure of the degree and the wide range of different specialist courses allows you to design a bespoke English Literature MLitt programme; you can focus tightly on a particular historical period or field or range widely to cover a broad range of interests. You will have access to world class libraries and museums, as well as the extraordinary diversity of cultural, literary and artistic events that makes Glasgow such a vibrant place for postgraduate study. The core research skills programme includes tailored workshops with the University’s archives and world-class Special Collections, as well as providing the academic and technical skills you will need to succeed at postgraduate level in the university and other professional environments. What our students say I know for a fact that this is the best choice I've made. The people here are so warm, kind and amazing. The professors have been really considerate about distributing the workload. You never know which text or course will make you think this is something I'm interested in, and this is something I could work on. People are really welcoming. People want you to join. You're going to find your place. It's really easy. And Scotland is such a beautiful place. You would be missing out if you don't actually go out and explore. Asmita, MLitt student
