Welcome

Join us on 20 September 2024 for our next Open Day. We'll have taster lectures and info sessions, plus our student ambassadors will be on hand to answer your questions about studying English at Oxford.

Congratulations to Professor Peter Boxall, Goldsmiths' Professor of English Literature, who has been elected a Fellow of the British Academy. 

The 'Their Finest Hour' project, led by Dr Stuart Lee, has launched an online archive with over 25k newly uncovered artefacts from WW2.

We were delighted to celebrate some recently published books by our Faculty members at our summer garden party. Browse the full list and see some photos from the celebration.

We asked our English undergrads some very important quickfire questions, including what their favourite book is, which author they'd like to have dinner with, and their best (and worst!) book to film adaptations. Find out how they answered!

We're delighted that the University of Oxford has once again been ranked number one in the world for English Language and Literature in the QS World University Rankings 2024 by subject.
