MA British Studies

About

The Centre for British Studies offers an MA British Studies. We offer a unique learning experience due to a cohort of international students with different first degrees, the interdisciplinary study programme which combines theory and practice, and the personalised tutorials aimed to foster early-stage independent research. The programme consists of teaching units (lectures, seminars, theme-oriented project work, etc.) covering the following topics: the history of the United Kingdom the UK's legal systems and their development literatures and cultures in the UK the UK's economic and social history since the Industrial Revolution the UK's present social stratification the development of Britain's political system cultural studies - theories and methods The Centre involves professionals active in British and German companies and financial institutions, television, law firms and the arts in its Master's programme, so that students are not only taught by university teachers, but are also in contact with people who run businesses, theatres, museums and other public service institutions. The Master's Phase is completed by a three-month work placement and a six-month thesis.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Applicants must hold a university degree at the time of formal enrolment (September of the enrolment year). This first degree can be in any subject. With around 130 applications for 32 places, admission is highly competitive. The diversity in standards of university teaching and grading throughout the world makes it impossible to impose any formal requirements on the minimum grade to be obtained. As a rule of thumb, though, successful applicants with a Bachelor's (e.g. BA, LLB, BSc) or similar degree tend to have graduated within the top 10-15%, successful applicants with a Master's (e.g. MA, LLM, MSc) or similar degree within the top 15-20% of their class. We will, however, consider the individual circumstances of each case.
