ENGLISH MA
- You will cover a varied range of theoretical approaches to literature: from the cutting-edge to the historically significant
- The modules are grouped by theme rather than historical periods, so you will see connections between texts from different times and places, from early-modern Europe to contemporary Africa
- We encourage original thinking and intellectual self-reflection and apply this to contemporary debates around issues like sustainability and decolonisation
- We’ll make sure you have an exceptional student experience, with more contact hours than most universities and staff that go the extra mile.

Job Opportunity Potential
You will leave our MA English with high-level transferable skills that are valued by employers, such as oral and written communication skills, as well as the ability to assess and analyse information, to work with others in a group setting, and to undertake an independent research project. More importantly, you will be a well-informed, articulate and critical thinker, who is culturally rich, and able to contribute to the major debates on issues that shape our future.
With your new knowledge, skills and attitudes, you could move onto a range of careers in the civil service, local government, law, journalism, publishing, advertising and the creative industries. Having completed training in research methodologies and an extended research project, you will also be ideally prepared for doctoral-level study.
Many English graduates progress to a teaching qualification, and with a masters qualification, you’ll be more competitive and may be able to obtain higher levels of government funding.
