MA in English and Film Studies in Waterloo Canada | Wilfrid Laurier University

Laurier's revamped Master of Arts (MA) in English and Film Studies provides coursework and faculty specialization across English literature, global cultures, film and media studies, and professional development. You'll deepen your disciplinary knowledge while enhancing critical analysis and communication abilities through rigorous research and interpretation.
The curriculum trains you to implement analytical and communication skills in real-world contexts via hands-on projects like debate coordination, academic symposiums, conference presentations, chapbook creation, critical reviews, interviews, digital content creation, and press materials. Students can also gain practical experience through departmental teaching assistantships and an optional spring-term Professional Skills internship.

Course materials encompass diverse formats: novels, cinema, verse, memoirs, plays, graphic novels, digital media, travel writing, and analytical essays.
The MA in English and Film Studies offers two completion paths: an accelerated eight-month coursework track or a twelve-month program combining coursework with either a Major Research Paper or the Professional Skills Option.
