The English MA offers the best of both taught and research-focused postgraduate courses, enabling you to concentrate on your chosen assessments and individual interests while training you in the practical skills involved in humanities research. You will graduate equipped with the skills to pursue a wide variety of careers, from publishing to event management, teaching, research, or progression onto a Ph.D. The flexible course structure will enable you to explore your independent research goals while working collaboratively with others in similar fields across English studies and the Humanities. Past projects have often evolved into Ph.D. projects, exploring topics such as African-Americans in fiction and film, the role of screenwriting in film adaptations, and representations of the nine worthies in medieval and early modern writing. The choice and freedom to develop your own specialisms will help you to produce your best possible work and the curriculum is designed for you to build on your skills from one module to the next. This course is ideal for students who are self-motivated, with good time management, and the ability to work independently, as these skills will be developed throughout.
You should have the equivalent or above of a 2:2 UK bachelors honours degree. We encourage and welcome applications from applicants with a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives and all non-standard applications will be considered.
If English is not your first language an IELTS score of 6.5 overall with 5.5 in each band, or equivalent when you start the course is essential. English Language tuition, delivered by our British Council accredited Centre for English Language Learning, is available both before and throughout the course if you need it.
