PhD Programmes in Languages English
A Doctor of Philosophy is the highest degree a student can earn. It can take two or more years to earn. PhD programs are based on research instead of traditional coursework and usually end with a dissertation.
What is a PhD in English? An English doctorate program allows students to do an in-depth study of the language. Students may have the opportunity to specialize in specific dialects, like British or American. Specializations are also typically offered. These may include literature, history, media, performance or technology. Many programs may focus mainly on literature and how it has developed, changed and impacted English speaking cultures throughout history. Students will likely have to complete an in-depth research or study project and present a dissertation to complete a program. Program lengths vary because they are generally led by the student and the amount of research undertaken.
Upon completing a program, a graduate is skilled as an expert in the English language and his or her chosen area of specialization. Skills learned in a program include literary critique, cultural knowledge and research skills.
The costs of a program vary due to PhD programs being very student led. A school’s financial department can usually offer the best cost estimate.
After a PhD program, graduates may work in a variety of fields, although many choose to go into teaching or research. Other career possibilities include working in journalism, publishing, the fine arts and law. Graduates may also work in almost any industry due to the management, leadership, writing and communication skills learned in a doctorate program. Other career options include filmmaker, social worker or copywriter.
