English MA
The English MA offers the best of both taught and research-focused postgraduate courses, enabling students to concentrate on their chosen assessments and individual interests while teaching them the practical skills involved in Humanities research, ranging from the first-hand experience of conference management, presenting work, and writing for publication.
It is an ideal stepping-stone to either research at the Ph.D. level or a career in teaching, publishing, research, or event management. The focus on individual choice, developing your own specialisms, enables you to produce your best possible work.
