The research programme in Literature involves postgraduate students in full- or part-time intensive study of a topic of their choice. With an allocation of two/three supervisors, a doctoral researcher may choose to work with members of staff in the Literature team (whose specialisms range from Early Modern literature to twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature) or else work on an interdisciplinary project with supervisors drawn from both Literature and one of the cognate disciplines in the School of Humanities or wider university (including Linguistics, History, Philosophy, Design, Art and Screen Studies). Facilities for students include a doctoral college, a supportive and approachable academic community and access to online and physical resources in libraries in Brighton, London and the south-east. The university offers research training programmes designed to guide postgraduate students in all areas of career development, including conference delivery, writing for publication and job application. Literature staff can also advise students on conference organisation, research trips and teaching work (with many of our current doctoral researchers being involved in teaching on our undergraduate courses).
