Why Choose Pembroke?
Our Tutorial Fellows in English are Professor Lynda Mugglestone, whose expertise centres on the social and cultural history of English (and its representation), and Dr Ushashi Dasgupta, whose research interests include nineteenth-century fiction and the relationship between literature and place. The English team at Pembroke also includes a number of other lecturers, each with their own areas of expertise.
English at Pembroke is part of a vibrant interdisciplinary community with a large cohort of students. We encourage independent study and the development of research and writing skills. Pembroke also has a thriving drama community and JCR Art Committee, both of which can give you the space to consider how your degree works in practice.
Our English society meets twice per term and includes activities ranging from film screenings to talks from external speakers or graduate students. We have an annual subject dinner. Our affiliation with the Oxford Playhouse means that students can benefit from subsidised tickets, and we host the annual Tolkien Lecture on Fantasy Literature here at Pembroke.
Meet Our Academics
Have you considered our joint honours courses?
As well as being taught as a single honours subject, English also forms part of other joint honours degrees, including English and Modern Languages, History and English.
Pembroke English students are eligible for £100 of funding in their first year and another £100 in their final year towards the cost of books for their course for personal use.
