English MA at University of Worcester

Programme overview

As an English MA student, you will explore an exciting range of themes that build on your existing literary knowledge. These themes span a broad range, from eco-criticism to the literary representation of the body. We also offer the chance to gain hands-on experience with the recovery and digital editing of historical texts. You will undertake a special study of evolving literary forms and genres, analysing the way in which forms emerge and genres change in response to social and cultural pressures. Students will be encouraged to develop new specialist interests and research skills in the context of the interdisciplinary Modern Humanities which will culminate in an independent dissertation.

Duration: Full-time: around 13 months. From early September, to late September of the following year; Part-time: around 23 months | Study mode: full-time | Location: Worcester, England, United Kingdom
