We are a large and dynamic department with more than seventy academics from different countries around the world. Exeter is a UNESCO City of Literature and we are proud of the history of the Southwest’s literary culture and of our local archives that inform our research and our teaching. We welcome students from all backgrounds and thrive to make their experience at Exeter the best it can be.

The curriculum at Exeter covers all periods from the Middle Ages to the contemporary moment with the “literary text” conceived in the broadest possible terms. From the Book of Genesis to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, from little magazines to comics and graphic novels, our curriculum equips students with the critical vocabulary and/or creative skills to confidently work with a range of literary forms and genres. Alongside literature and creative writing modules, the Department is home to our Liberal Arts degree programme, which emphasises interdisciplinarity while enabling students to select a specialism (or Major). Our staff also teach on a number of workplace-facing undergraduate modules in Applied Humanities, Publishing and the Creative Industries, which are popular career destinations for many of our students. We run a dedicated M.A. in Publishing.
