PhD English

at University of York

For doctoral research, applicants should hold or be predicted to achieve a first-class or high upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours (or equivalent international qualification) and a Masters degree with distinction. 
 

The undergraduate and Masters degrees should be in literature, or in a related subject that is closely tied to the proposed research project. 
 

Other relevant experience and expertise is taken into account:
 

• Relevant professional experience can be outlined in your personal statement and/or a CV if you choose to include one.
• You are welcome to include a narrative description of relevant life experiences in your personal statement. This might include caring responsibilities, career breaks, barriers you have faced, and declaring your belonging to an under-represented group if you wish.
• It is expected that postgraduate applicants would be familiar with the recent published work of their proposed supervisor.
• Publications are not required and we don't expect applicants to have been published before they start their research degree.
