Though drawing on this progress substantially, the Disability Studies MA differs from similar programmes as it emphasises cultural issues. We are not only interested in the policies, prejudices, and professions around disability but also its representation in literature, media, film, art and so on. Liverpool Hope University is particularly well suited as a host for this programme. Most obviously, and indeed most importantly, we have a wealth of specialist staff and resources. We have several experts in Disability Studies, award-winning tutors, and internationally recognised scholars and researchers. What is more, the regional, national, and international profile of the programme is significantly enhanced by the Centre for Culture & Disability Studies–and, by extension, the Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies, the Literary Disability Studies book series, the on-going seminar series, and the International Network of Literary & Cultural Disability Scholars–that is housed at the Graduate School in the Faculty of Education, Liverpool Hope University.
Usually a First Class or Upper Second Class Honours Degree in a relevant discipline.
