Program Description
The MRes English allows you to develop and complete a one year full-time or two year part-time independent research project in English Language and/or Literature, in the context of a structured programme of study. The MRes provides excellent preparation if you’re intending to undertake a PhD in English, but is also a good choice if you wish to pursue a research project for purposes of professional development or personal interest.Apart from completing a bespoke research skills module you will be working individually with your supervisor(s) throughout, and you will become part of the vibrant research community within the English Department/School of the Arts.
Recent MRes projects have encompassed a broad range of topics, including an investigation of adolescents’ language attitudes towards Liverpool English, a study on code-switching in Spanish-English bilingual children, an analysis of the poet figure in Shelley’s Alastor; or, the Spirit of Solitude, and an exploration of queer racialised identities in contemporary theory and novels.
Please consult the English Department staff pages to learn more about our members of staff and the topic areas for which we can offer supervision.
Do not hesitate to get in touch with the programme contact if you have any further questions.
