FAQs

  • International applicants must satisfy English language requirements and apply through the University’s Degree Finder using the EUCLID system. Additional advice is available via regional admissions offices.
  • Funding support includes scholarships such as the Edinburgh Doctoral College Scholarship, College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences Research Awards, and other competitive awards. Decisions are separate from admissions, and applicants are encouraged to apply early—financial decisions may take until late spring.
  • Edinburgh is generally competitive, with variability by course and nationality. International students in English Literature reportedly have an offer rate around 68%, but applicants are advised to expect slower response times, sometimes until late March or April.
  • The department supports research across all periods and genres of English and Scottish Literature, including medieval, early modern, Romantic, 19th- to 21st-century studies, literary theory, book history, cultural studies, gender studies, postcolonial studies, and Scottish writing—especially strong in Scottish literature research.
  • A PhD consists of an original thesis of 70,000–100,000 words (for research-based projects) or equivalent creative‑critical output, completed over 36 months (three years full-time) or up to 72 months (six years part-time).
