Scottish Literature
In 1971, the University of Glasgow established the first and only academic department in the UK dedicated exclusively to the teaching and research of Scottish literary tradition.
Today we are in the UK's top 10 for Scottish literature research, with 70% of our work being classed as world-leading or internationally excellent by the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.
We are home to the Centre for Robert Burns Studies and we work with many award-winning contemporary authors and poets, including Louise Welsh: our University's writer-in-residence.
All of this means that if you study with us, you can learn from a group of scholars who are active in editing the work of major Scottish canonical writers as well as engaging in research and publication in all periods of Scottish literature.
