Study Details: MA 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time
The English Language and Literature MA explores the interconnections between language and literature. Our course will provide you with a thorough understanding of the linguistic features of English from a wide range of perspectives (theoretical and applied, synchronic and diachronic), as well as leading you to explore a wide array of texts in connection with the social, historical and political circumstances from which they emerge. It will also equip you with the intellectual perspectives and scholarly skills to conduct independent research.
The MA is for you if you’ve taken English language and/or literature modules at undergraduate level, or studied allied disciplines such as TESOL. It’s of particular interest if you’re wishing to pursue further study, or if you’re teaching English and wish to gain a further qualification and investigate current developments in the field.
A minimum of a lower second class honours degree (2:2) in a relevant subject (eg English language, English literature or TESOL). Applicants may be required to attend an interview (either face to face or via Skype).
If your first language is not English, you should have an IELTS 6.5 with at least 6.5 in writing and no element below 6.0.
Applicants are required to submit one academic or professional reference.
