For those seeking advanced English literature studies without specializing in a single field, the MA English Literature program could be an excellent choice. The department offers diverse expertise, allowing you to select modules from various MA programs including Medieval Studies, Shakespeare, Victorian Literature, Art and Culture, along with specialized options in Modernism and Contemporary Literature. This course suits students fascinated by multiple literary periods or those wishing to explore connections between different eras and genres.
You'll select the equivalent of two full modules from across four MA literature programs while conducting independent research, culminating in a 12,000-15,000 word dissertation.
Instruction comes from distinguished scholars, authors, and critics actively involved in research, publishing influential works, contributing to national media, and advising prestigious organizations such as the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Department for Education, and other national and international institutions.
Duration: 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time
