Program Description

Studying English literature, language and creative writing can be both inspiring and rewarding, offering new insight into the ways in which stories, poems, novels, plays and their authors creatively interpret the world in which we live.This course is taught through a combination of five core modules and one optional module from a choice which reflects the variety in cross-period and thematic spread of English as a subject.To graduate with a Master’s qualification, you must complete 180 credits, including the production of a 15,000-word dissertation (60 credits) on a topic of your choice, negotiated with and supervised by one of our experienced researchers. You will begin your dissertation early in the course and continue working on it throughout the duration of your studies.In preparation, you will undertake a full research training programme, which includes sessions on academic writing, ethics, archives and databases, writing a research proposal, and an introduction to a range of methodological approaches from across the Humanities. These sessions are also designed to develop the necessary skills for doctoral research. You’ll be given advice on how to construct, develop and write an extended dissertation, based on independent research.The MA English Literatures can be studied as either a one-year full-time or two-year part-time course, with a September start date. It is also possible to study more flexibly part-time on a modular basis, accumulating degree credits by taking individual modules over a maximum period of five years.
