Study Details: MA Full-time: 1 year Part-time: 2 years
In a world of information overload and ‘alternative facts’, the ability to read between the lines is more valuable than ever. Studying English literature equips you with the skills to do this.
Our flexible course will further your ability to analyse words and literary forms, deepening your knowledge of important literary periods, movements, authors and texts. The optionality woven into the programme means you can really tailor your studies to focus on the topics and texts that most interest you.
You’ll benefit from the expertise of our academics who are leaders in their fields. They’ll inspire you to extend your understanding of literary history, genre and theory, introducing you to a variety of up-to-date approaches to literary studies. You’ll also get a chance to work with our Poet and Distinguished Writer in Residence – again, all leading exponents of their chosen literary genres.
A minimum of a 2:1 UK honours degree in English literature, history or philosophy.
Alternative degree subjects can be considered by the faculty on a case-by-case basis. A sample of written work and/or interview may be requested.
We may be able to take relevant work experience into consideration if you don’t meet these requirements. If you have at least one year of relevant experience in a full-time graduate-level role (or a minimum of two years’ experience in a relevant graduate-level part-time role) please provide full details of your role and responsibilities in your personal statement and CV when you submit your application.
