A PhD in English is an invitation to explore and master an area of academic research and literary, social, and cultural history.
PhD students at Dalhousie are given every opportunity to:

present original work in the Department
attend national and international conferences
publish original essays in academic journals
teach undergraduate English courses
become involved in ground-breaking research with faculty
prepare for an academic career

Applicants to Dalhousie's PhD program are eligible for a Killam scholarship nomination. PhD students are funded by the Department for the first four years of study and are encouraged to apply for external funding every year. By the third year, and after Comprehensive Exams, PhD students are able to teach up to 4 half-credit undergraduate courses of their own.
In the past decade, our students have successfully competed for tenure-track positions at the University of Toronto, University of Victoria, the University of Regina, the University of Ottawa, Carleton University, Algoma University, Ambrose University College, Mount Saint Vincent University, and Wilfred Laurier University. Other recent graduates have contract appointments at Harvard, Dalhousie, Dawson College, Saint Mary’s University, and Universite Sainte Anne, and in private schools across Canada.
