About The Course
About The Course
The MA in English Literature offers an exciting array of modules to take your experience of literary study to the next level.
Our MA is unique because its modules grow directly out of your tutors’ own research, writing and publications. One of the teaching team’s key concerns is to bring to the fore marginalised voices in the literatures we study. We explore the ways such writers negotiate the past, find a place in the present, and project multiple futures. We place their distinctive work alongside more familiar, canonical writers to create a broad understanding of literary context and a deeper sense of what imaginative writing can powerfully express.
Why study English Literature?
This course is for everyone who is keen to study English literature in depth. We offer an interesting range of modules covering the Early Modern, Victorian and Modern periods of literature.
Our applicants usually include mature students returning to study after a break, as well as recent graduates wishing to take their knowledge to the next level.
This MA in English Literature will give you the chance to reach a high level of critical engagement, making it a valuable experience in its own right. It is perfectly suited to accommodate those on a career-break or in retirement. It will also enhance applications for teacher training, provide essential postgraduate experience for those planning to go on to a PhD, and it will give you an edge in the professional job market.
The MA has given me a chance to tackle real academic work. If I had just wanted to talk about books, I could have joined a book group – but the MA is much more rigorous and gives me the chance to write, too.
