The top countries for a PhD in English Literature, besides Canada, are the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.

- UK: Strong academic tradition and diverse research options in English literature.
- US: Wide range of prestigious universities with comprehensive PhD programs.
- Australia & New Zealand: Research-focused programs and supportive academic environments.
- Singapore: Competitive programs with a global perspective.

Most universities require proof of English proficiency, typically an IELTS score of 7.0 overall (subject to change).

If you need help shortlisting universities or preparing for IELTS, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
