The English program at Ulster University is housed within the School of Arts and Humanities, part of the Faculty of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences. This dynamic academic hub offers rich opportunities for exploring English literature and creative writing, supported by a robust community of postgraduate researchers.

Faculty members pursue diverse research interests that strengthen the global academic discourse in English Studies, spanning periods from Early Modern and Victorian eras to contemporary works and creative writing, alongside Critical Theory.

Many scholars in the department also specialize in Irish and Ulster-Scots Literature, an area that features prominently in both research initiatives and undergraduate teaching.
