The MPhil program typically spans two years. The initial year covers the coursework elements of an MLitt, followed by a second year dedicated to writing a thesis with a maximum length of 40,000 words. Candidates possessing an appropriate Masters or MLitt qualification might qualify for direct entry into the MPhil's second year. Our 18th Century, Romantic, and Victorian research team explores literary works from the 1700s and 1800s. This academic group has recently produced acclaimed publications, critical editions, and scholarly articles focusing on figures like Robert Burns, James Hogg, Lord Byron, John Keats, Maria Edgeworth, Thomas Hood, Thomas Hardy, Aubrey Beardsley, and Shakespeare's 19th-century reception.
