Information about the Department
***: Located in the heart of downtown Montreal, the Department of English is embedded in the city's thriving bilingual artistic and cultural scene. In combination with its faculty's outstanding academic and creative writing strengths, this creates a stimulating milieu for students to learn and grow as thinkers, writers, and communicators.

Ranked among the top 200 English departments in the world by the QS World University Rankings, the department's faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students are leaders in humanities research, creative writing, and research creation.

Faculty members are well grounded in the study and practice of writing in English in all areas and periods, in addition to more interdisciplinary research concerns such as media studies, sexuality studies, print culture, performance studies, game studies, poetics, globalization, and the environmental humanities.
