The English Department at Royal Holloway provides comprehensive expertise spanning all periods and specialized areas of English literature, establishing itself as one of the UK's most vibrant academic communities.
Doctoral candidates benefit from a diverse and engaging research environment across our London and Egham locations. Our Victorian Studies Center organizes well-attended lectures featuring global scholars, often hosted in the prestigious Royal Holloway Picture Gallery with its exceptional collection of 19th-century artworks. Meanwhile, literary readings and performances by our Creative Writing students and acclaimed faculty regularly enhance our cultural offerings. These represent just a sample of the opportunities available to enrich your Royal Holloway experience while fostering intellectual growth and connections with peers.
Occasionally, we implement course modifications to enhance the educational journey. Should any substantial changes affect your selected program, we will notify you promptly.
