English - Literary Studies highlights
Student Experience
The PgDip in English Literary Studies offers a number of special features. Some modules engage with art and culture through field work, while other modules use connections to different subject areas and to the archives in Armagh, Belfast and Trinity College Dublin. Students are also able to take some modules from other programmes, including the Masters in Liberal Arts.
Further Study Opportunities
Students and staff across the degree also take part in a number of discussion groups, workshops and conferences both within and outside the University. There is the opportunity to organise and/or participate in the School's annual PG conference ('Common Ground') and regular research seminars.
Internationally Renowned Experts
You will be taught by staff with interests that range across the English subject area and who have research profiles of international standing.
"I applied for the masters in literary studies as I wished to expand on the research skills I had developed at undergraduate level. Literary studies provided me with both the opportunities to expand my investigative skills through tailored research-centred seminars and refine my area of interest through specialised modules. The modules on offer are fascinatingly diverse, covering literatures from Anglo-Saxon verse to 21st century Indian prose, and the teaching staff delivering seminars are world-class. Thanks to support and guidance from my lecturers, I gained the confidence and skills needed to pursue doctoral study, and I look forward to returning to Queen’s this autumn.” Jasmine McCrory
"Studying the MA in English Literary Studies was an easy decision after a fantastic experience as an English undergraduate at Queen’s. I have always wanted to pursue an academic career and the enthusiastic and supportive English staff gave me the confidence to do so. The opportunities for independent research at MA level are invaluable; the Literary Research Methods module in particular is incredibly rewarding. It allowed me to engage with a variety of challenging theoretical paradigms which paved the way for many exciting class debates as well as equipping me with the skills to undertake further research at PhD level.” Michelle McLaughlin
"Having studied at Queen's as an undergraduate, the decision to do an MA here in the School of English was an easy one to make! Specialising in Renaissance Literature, the opportunity to incorporate other modules from a wide range on offer was fantastic and made for a more exciting and diverse degree."
