MA Literature in the Creative and Cultural Industries

The course connects the disciplines of literary practice, publishing studies, and book and print history with the emerging field of creative industries studies, highlighting the wider material and cultural contexts for the making, selling, and consumption of literature. Combine scholarly approaches to literary production and literary culture with practice-based experience in writing and letterpress printing. Gain a unique set of skills and perspectives on the literary industry, and an understanding of its historical, economic, and social dimensions that will prepare them for further study or work in the sector.

You can develop your own distinctive pathway with relevant modules across departments, to reflect your individual passions, curiosities and research ambitions. In all these tasks you're taught and supervised by world-leading scholars, working in one of the UK's largest research centres in English literature.

You’ll engage with the wider research culture of the Department of English, one of the UK's largest research centres in modern English. We have a diverse schedule of seminars, conferences and reading groups. You’ll also be part of the Humanities Research Centre, a vibrant interdisciplinary hub which will enable you to form close social and intellectual bonds over the course of your study.
