About

find connection between literary studies and other academic disciplines

benefit from the guidance of an expert supervisor

Why this course?

The MLitt in Interdisciplinary English Studies focuses on the representation, imaginary transformation and symbolisation of culture, mediated through language and literature.

This is achieved by drawing on the interdisciplinary strengths of the Department of Humanities, and the English Studies section within the school.

The course will prepare you to think about the ways in which all aspects of culture depend on narrative, fiction and language. You can apply this to working in education, business, government or a third-sector organisation.

The course also prepares for undertaking a PhD, which generally requires a Masters qualification as an entry requirement.
