Abstract
This chapter will explore three areas: the developments within humanities postgraduate recruitment in both the UK and North America, the growth in postgraduate recruitment specifically relating to Gothic studies at masters and Ph.D. level over the past ten years and finally, details of particular masters awards either on Gothic studies or which include substantial material on Gothic studies. The exploration of such awards will focus on their typical structure and modes of delivery in order to guide scholars who might be considering similar course design. Throughout, the emphasis is on the comparative experiences of institutions in the UK and North America.
