At the University Pécs you may study British, Irish and American literatures in English at PhD level. The newly registered program brings together collegial expertise at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences to provide students with the appropriate background in literary history and theory, cultural studies as well as in the fields of British, Irish and American Literatures to provide students with the required courses and tutoring to work towards a PhD completed in eight semesters or four years. The core curriculum is supplemented by a component of individual research and other scholarly and educational activities throughout. Students are required to take a comprehensive exam related to their studies and research, and submit and publicly defend a dissertation at the Doctoral School of Literary Studies at Faculty of Humanities and Social Science, University of Pécs.
The Program comprises two phases, the first of which consisting of three modules: core curriculum courses in the fields of literary theory, cultural studies and literary history stretching over the first three semesters; teaching, tutoring, mentoring and other department-related activities (second and third semesters); individual research for the thesis (continuous) and revision for the final exam (fourth semester). Having earned the required credits and passed the final exam, students enter the second phase, wherein they are required to finish their theses with the help of their supervisors, and submit it in two years after their final exam. The program is thus divided into two years of course-
work and two years of research and writing, with tutors helping candidates all along on their way towards receiving their PhDs.
