School of English

Welcome to English at Queen's

English Studies at Queen's represents one of the most diverse areas of study and research in the Humanities, one that already has a worldwide reputation in some of its specialist fields of interest. The school's objective is to develop and enhance these areas through teamwork, collegiality, and with an eye to the possibilities of interdisciplinary cross-fertilisation in our research.

Please browse these webpages to discover more about the School, our teaching and research, and the unique experience provided by the activities of the English Society and the The Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry.
