A PhD serves as a gateway for many opportunities: as preliminary training for an academic career; as an advanced degree that may contribute to a future career in other sectors, such as the creative industries and management; or simply as an exciting and rewarding pursuit in its own right. The degree culminates in a final dissertation of approximately 80,000 words that makes an original contribution to knowledge.
Studying at Warwick means joining a supportive and world-leading network of experts across a broad spectrum of literary, cultural, and theoretical topics.
Our warm and vibrant research community is one of the largest in the UK, with around 80 postgraduates every year. We have an active set of research groups ranging from Feminist Dissent to Critical Environmental Studies. We offer a full calendar of seminars, symposiums and conferences and training in research methods and professionalisation. We also offer funding for postgraduate study and career development support during your time here.
You will study alongside ambitious scholars and researchers at the forefront of their fields. We want you to harness your intellectual ambitions and interests and to bring your own distinct personal experiences and circumstances to bear on your work.
