Summary
The MSc Literature, Culture & Society at Strathclyde is an innovative programme that explores how literature and culture can shape responses to urgent social issues.
The programme focuses on the transformative role of narrative and human storytelling at the nexus of multiple contemporary crises, from democracy and climate crisis to movements for racial, gender and queer social justice. Grounded in a rigorous approach to literary and cultural studies, with contributions from an interdisciplinary group of academics, this course equips students for careers in a range of sectors, including policy, charities, culture, education, publishing, and communications, as well as further research.
You'll benefit from Strathclyde's status as a hub of expertise in oral histories of literature and culture, health humanities, environmental humanities, narrative theory, and socially engaged literary criticism. Your tutors, leading researchers in these fields, will help you develop intersectional approaches to literature grounded in a commitment to epistemic justice.
Employers across a range of sectors increasingly value competencies in storytelling and cultural production, as well as critical thinking, adaptability, and curiosity. Our programme embeds these capabilities and gives you the chance to develop them in a professional setting through our optional Research Placement module. You will benefit from a curriculum that blends rigorous literary study with practical, interdisciplinary applications, maximising transferable skills for you to take into the next stage of your career.
