Key Summary

About : The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) by Research in English Literature offers in-depth study into various aspects of literature, emphasizing independent research. This program is designed to develop critical thinking, analytical skills, and a profound engagement with texts. Students will contribute original knowledge to the field of English literature through their unique research projects.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue careers in academia, becoming university lecturers or researchers. Other opportunities include roles in publishing, writing, and editing, where they can apply their expertise in literature. Positions in cultural institutions or literary organizations are also common among alumni.

PhD by research via Distance Learning is awarded after successfully completing a theoretical research specialization. This research is presented in the form of a doctoral thesis. The PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is the only doctoral degree that can be achieved through distance learning. The main requirement for a PhD online through distance learning is to present and discuss a thesis of at least 100 pages for review and evaluation by an academic committee at Terra Nova University.

The development of this research program should improve knowledge and understanding of English literature from its origins. Students are exposed to a variety of literary genres (poetry, theatre, fiction and non-fiction), as well as the main aesthetic, political, religious and social issues that have influenced and helped shape the literature of every era. Research in this area is not only fundamental for the future professorship of candidates to understand the literature under study but must also develop the related historical aspects of the English language. By mastering these concepts, candidates can gain a deeper appreciation of the development and expansion of English literature worldwide.
