MA
Summary
This course lets you develop your specialism and study what you love, without the constraints of a set curriculum.
On this programme, our flexible mini-modules are known as 'pods'. You can choose from a broad range of pods of study, created by subject experts, to build your own programme. Your curriculum will be unique to you, and you can choose to work towards one of our specialist pathways below if you wish:
Applied Linguistics Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching Discourse and Communication English Literature Language and Linguistics Literary Linguistics Medieval Englishes Modern and Contemporary Literature Name-Studies Norse and Viking Studies Professional Communication World Literatures You don't need to commit to a specialism right at the beginning of your studies, although you can if you want to! Your final degree depends on studying at least two-thirds of your course in a specialised area, and you will have regular opportunities to discuss this with your Personal Advisor as you go. Whatever your choices, you will graduate with an MA in English. If your options don’t fit a particular pathway, your degree outcome will be MA English (Applied English).
Most students complete this course in around three years. However, you can adjust your study schedule to best suit your circumstances, with a minimum registration period of two years. Please note, if you are in receipt of a Student Finance England loan, you will be on a three-year completion schedule as standard.
