About this course

The MA in English Literature aims to deepen your passion for literature while developing the rigorous specialist skills essential to postgraduate-level research. You will receive the help and support of the distinguished Department of English as we aim to provide a stimulating and challenging intellectual experience in a friendly environment.

The programme offers four pathways, which build on the core research strengths of the department:

  • Shakespeare and Early Modern Literature

  • Romantic and Victorian Literature

  • 20th Century and Contemporary Literature

  • Literature and the Environment.

    If you wish to focus on a particular period you may follow a single pathway. Alternatively, if you want to broaden your engagement with English literature, you may decide to choose no single pathway, and combine optional units to suit your interests.

    All students are taught the specialist skills required for postgraduate-level research and the practical skills that academic life demands. Everyone on the programme is invited to enter fully into the wider academic community of the department and the University.
