Course content

On this Masters in English, you will develop an advanced and critical understanding of literary and cultural history, as well as some of the key issues that shape the contemporary world. It is a course for intellectually curious and ambitious individuals.

• You will cover a varied range of theoretical approaches to literature: from the cutting-edge to the historically significant
• The modules are grouped by theme rather than historical periods, so you will see connections between texts from different times and places, from early-modern Europe to contemporary Africa
• We encourage original thinking and intellectual self-reflection and apply this to contemporary debates around issues like sustainability and decolonisation
• We’ll make sure you have an exceptional student experience, with more contact hours than most universities and staff that go the extra mile.
