General Information
 
The MPhil/PhD Programme in English is designed to provide vigorous training in literary and critical cultural theories and solid foundation in Anglo-American Literature as well as cultural texts. The MPhil/PhD Programme aims at producing scholars who are articulated in theoretical discussions, highly original in their approach to cultural texts, and specialized in a chosen area and yet have exposure to the broader picture of literary and cultural studies. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged. 
 
Unique features of the Programme: We put a special emphasis on Interdisciplinary Studies and welcome thesis that deals with intersections of areas including but not limited to: literary texts, cultural texts, philosophy, technoscience, environmental ethics, gender and feminism, etc.
