Postgraduate Study in Scottish Literature at Glasgow
The University of Glasgow hosts the only academic unit in the world exclusively dedicated to the teaching and research of Scottish Literature.
Established in 1971, Scottish Literature at Glasgow is regarded as a world-leading research unit with a teaching provision which covers the range of Scottish literature from the 14th century to the present day.
Our Centre for Robert Burns Studies is dedicated to Scotland’s national bard, and we are involved in all aspects of Scotland’s literary heritage.
As a relatively “new” subject in the academic context there is a great deal of research work still to be undertaken in Scottish literary studies. Glasgow is supremely well placed to support exciting postgraduate and postdoctoral research.
Staff members are active within the wider world of Scottish literature at home and abroad. Many of us are involved in key editions of major Scottish writers (notably Robert Burns, James Hogg, Walter Scott, Hugh MacDiarmid and Allan Ramsay) and many have published major critical texts on a wide range of Scottish literary subjects.
