Creative, critical, civic-minded and collaborative, the School of English at the University of Sheffield is one of the largest and most successful English departments in the UK. We are an interdisciplinary department, bringing together the study of literature, language, linguistics, theatre, film and creative writing to form a community that is unique in the world in its breadth and depth of study of the English language.
Our world-leading research, active student community and civic ethos makes Sheffield one of the world’s most exciting places to study English. Our academic staff are experts in their field and use their cutting-edge research to inform their teaching and the content of the modules our students study. We see our students as integral members of our research community. They are encouraged to be active participants in learning from the moment they arrive, working collaboratively with academic staff to become independent, critical and creative thinkers.
Research is at the heart of everything we do here at the School of English, from our public activities to our research-led teaching. In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014), we were ranked number 1 in the UK for research environment. We have a thriving research environment, with world-leading experts in English literature, language, linguistics, theatre, film and creative writing. We also have the largest group of researchers in the UK working on the intersection of language and literature. The interdisciplinary nature of the School of English provides unique opportunities for cross-departmental and collaborative research.
We maintain strong links with our local community, using our research to inform and support projects that have a real-world impact in our city and region.
