Master of Arts in Creative Practice
The Yeats Academy are now offering a range of Masters programmes in 17 creative disciplines. We have called these ‘Pathway Specialisms’.

English Literary Studies

Once you decide your Pathway Specialism, you can decide from one of two ways to undertake your Masters study.
You can complete the course in a minimum of 3 Semesters (15 months) or take a maximum of up to 5 years in a part-time mode. The programme is 90 credits, with 30 credits of taught modules and 60 credits of 1:1 supervised research.
This programme will give each student the opportunity to direct their own study tin the direction of either Research-Led/Based or Practice-Led/Based
The Research-Led/Based approach will provide students with the opportunity to conduct advanced enquiry into a research question. The student may employ a wide range of research methods derived from the social sciences or the arts to address concerns that are encountered in their creative field/industry. The student has a choice of assessment modes:
through a written dissertation (100% and 24,000-30, 000 words)
through a combination of written dissertation (no less than 60 % and 15,000-18000 words) and other research artefacts (up to 40%).
The Practice-Led/Based approach provides students with the opportunity to pursue advanced enquiry into creative disciplines through practice. The focus is on the development of the student’s own creative work. The student’s dissertation will be split between a practice component (60%) accompanied by a written element (40%) of 9,000 - 12,000 words.
So in summary, our Master of Arts allows students to foster either a practice-led industry based research element or applied practice as the primary.
The programme is designed as Level 9 Masters study for applicants who already hold an Honours Degree (2:2 minimum) in a cognate area.
