We are student researchers
It’s not just staff who actively research in English at Exeter: we encourage you to develop your own skills as a researcher, and give you unique opportunities to develop your original work to the highest level. Many of our students publish in The Undergraduate, for example – a multidisciplinary journal of undergraduate students, run by and for undergraduates at Exeter. Editors Caroline Hughes and Rosemary Lennie are here to introduce you to the work the Journal does.

We are Postgrads
We have a thriving postgraduate community in English at Exeter, with many of our Undergraduate students choosing to stay with us to study further and expand their interest and expertise in English at MA level. You can find out more here.
Take a look at Tara’s video below – her pathway through Exeter English led her from Oscar Wilde to Japanese literature.

We are the English Society
The English Society is an open forum for Exeter English students and others to discuss their courses, allay their fears about MLA referencing and anything else that takes their fancy!
You can join the Society’s Facebook group to find out more.
Research bites: women writing cinema
How did writers respond to the birth of film? What impact did cinemagoing have on literary cultures – particularly for women, cinema’s dominant audience in its golden era? Dr Lisa Stead explores how women ‘penned the screen’ in pre- and interwar British literature.

We are volunteers
Studying with us will give you many opportunities beyond the classroom to build your skills and experience and add exciting new strands to your CV. Many English students volunteer in our unique film museum, for example, and have gone on to a range of exciting careers in museums and archives. Take a look at the short film below for a glance at some of our student volunteers at the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum, past and present.
