" Sussex has a good academic reputation (the English department is particularly strong) and a history of innovative approaches to teaching and learning." The Guardian, May 1st 2007. The School of English at Sussex is at the forefront of developments in literary studies. Our current degree programmes in both English and Drama Studies, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, are widely recognised for their combination of coherence, innovation and variety. The Higher Education Funding Council's assessment of teaching quality rated the English department 'excellent' and the department also received 5 out of 5 in the last Research Assessment Exercise, recognising our excellence in research which in turn feeds directly into our teaching. English and Drama students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and ages and include students from the UK as well as the United States and Europe. The department aims to provide you with the resources to fulfil your academic potential with the support of teachers who are successfully redefining the boundaries of literary studies on both the national and international stage. English faculty encompass a wide range of research strengths and interests that range across most periods of English literature and contemporary critical theory, as can be seen in their individual web pages. We also have carefully defined and well developed interests in Comparative Literature, especially in French, German and world literature, much of which is taught in translation. Faculty will welcome e-mail enquiries from potential students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels who wish to work in their specialist areas. There are a number of research centres operating within the School of English that represent strong interdisciplinary interests, bringing together colleagues and students in a variety of fields, which also have separate web pages. Colleagues in English play a leading role in all of these Centres: |
