More than 40 universities in Britain offer doctoral courses in English language/literature or comparative literature, including traditional universities famous for their research and some colleges where 1992/ 1993 became universities.
The doctoral program is divided into two parts. In the first year, there were lectures and exams. After passing, you will usually get MPhil, and then enter the independent research stage of PhD.
Some schools require applicants to study for a master's degree first, and those with good grades will transfer to a doctor's degree.
Applicants for doctoral programs related to literature usually have at least a bachelor's degree in related majors, and their scores are at least equivalent to a second-class A (2: 1) degree in the UK.
A master's degree in literature/comparative literature is one of your advantages.
If the applicant has relevant professional work/research experience, or has published academic papers, he may be admitted even if he has insufficient academic qualifications.
Doctoral courses are research-oriented courses. Applicants need to submit a plan to explain their research ideas and methods, and have a clear research direction. The more detailed, the more specific.
Some schools also require applicants to attend interviews and discuss their research ideas with potential tutors.
In terms of English proficiency, overseas students generally need IELTS 7.0 to 7.5, and some schools also require applicants to hand in some texts/papers for reference.
The doctoral program in general universities enrolls students at 5438+00 every autumn in September or June. Individual schools will be more flexible and can start this project at any time except during holidays.
I suggest you check online first, lock in several universities in your research direction, and then get in touch with the relevant tutors/professors to ask about the specific application steps.
