The MSt (Res) is a one-year research Master's program where students produce a thesis under 30,000 words. This degree offers a valuable chance to engage in academic research, either as a standalone qualification or as preparation for doctoral studies. The Medieval and Renaissance (MedRen) research group assists faculty and graduate students focusing on literature spanning from the Anglo-Saxon era to the 18th century. This group organizes various seminars and reading sessions for staff and postgraduates, while also supporting two specialized MLitt programs: Medieval English and Shakespeare and Renaissance Literary Culture.
