Course content

The University of Warwick offers the MA by Research in Caribbean Studies. Join the Yesu Persaud Centre for Caribbean Studies in stimulating teaching and research on the Caribbean. Through an interdisciplinary approach, you will produce a research project with a cross-cultural perspective, with supervision from field experts.

At the start of the academic year, you will be welcomed by our Centre. You will work with your supervisor to create a calendar plan for the year that is bespoke for you and your studies. Through independent research and regular meetings with your supervisor(s) you will develop your research project.

The final goal of the MA by Research is the production of your thesis. You will write 40,000 words (excluding footnotes, bibliography and appendices) on a topic of your choice.

Teaching and learning

You will develop your research project through a combination of independent research and regular meetings with your supervisor(s). The supervisory relationship is at the heart of your research. Your supervisor(s) are experts in their field who will guide you throughout your degree and will agree upon a programme of reading, research and writing with you.

You can ask any academic from our Centre to be your supervisor. See our staff web pages for more details and to see whose research interests align with yours.
