MA
Summary
The MA in English Literature offers an exciting array of modules to take your experience of literary study to the next level. From Early Modern poets like Christopher Marlowe and Andrew Marvell to classics of children’s literature like Alice in Wonderland; from Victorian crime fiction to the literature of the First World War; from fin de siècle classics such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula to modern classics-in-the-making like Junot Díaz’s This is How You Lose Her – the range of texts and topics is designed to combine the familiar with the lesser-known, and the experimental with the traditional.
Our MA in English Literature lets you dive into all this literature and reach a deeper level of critical engagement, making it a valuable experience in its own right – perfectly suited to those on a career-break or in retirement. It will also enhance applications for teacher training, provide essential postgraduate experience for those planning to go on to a PhD, and it will give you an edge in the professional job market.
You will be taught by a team of exceptional tutors, all researching and publishing in their fields. The teaching team is friendly and welcoming, and has an excellent reputation for teaching, supervision and diligent student support. You will be joining a close-knit community of scholars that is mutually supporting and where friendships are made.

Summary
The English team at Canterbury Christ Church University is based in the School of Humanities and has a proven track record of excellent supervision by active and internationally acclaimed academic researchers. It has an established and vibrant postgraduate community.
An MA in English is increasingly regarded as a valuable extension of undergraduate study in that it:

* enhances applications for teacher training where advanced specialist knowledge can be an asset. The PGCE English team in the Education department at Canterbury Christ Church University strongly encourages students to gain an MA before applying for the PGCE;
* provides essential postgraduate experience for you if you intend to continue your study of literature at MPhil/PhD level;
* provides a period of literary study if you wish to take a career break.
Intended to meet the needs of students who wish to engage in fast-track further study leading to a Master's qualification, our MA is offered full-time (one calendar year). If you'd prefer to study part-time it can also be taken over two years.
The timetable has been designed with concentration of seminars within two days (Mondays and Tuesdays) to offer flexibility with your other commitments.
