LJMU's MRes in English enables you to carry out an independent research project in the field of English Studies.

• Work alongside active researchers in the field
• Benefit from specialist supervision and study within a diverse community of fellow researchers
• Discover the wide variety of approaches currently practised in the discipline

The MRes seeks to extend your knowledge of literary and cultural history while developing your analytical and critical skills. It is also intended to cultivate an understanding of research as a specific activity.

The programme is delivered by academics actively engaged in research under the aegis of the Research Centre for Literature and Cultural History at LJMU. Key areas of specialism include early modern literature and culture; gender and sexuality; medical humanities; 19th century literature and history; regional, national and postcolonial literatures; contemporary and everyday cultures; literature and cultural geography; 20th century and contemporary writing (British, Irish, Scottish, American).

The programme is designed, in part, as a preparation for doctoral study, and students who progress to PhD often acknowledge the important role it has played in their development.
