　　Our Masters degree in English Literature focuses on three periods of literary history: the Renaissance, the ?long? nineteenth century and the 20th/21st century.

　　Each of the three period-based modules is structured on ideas of politics and social change and will enable you to explore the interface between literature and society.

　　By reading a wide range of texts within their critical, cultural and historical contexts, we?ll encourage you to evaluate the ideas of others and develop your own critical perspectives and areas of specialised knowledge.

　　You?ll develop skills and knowledge through a range of teaching and learning methods and by producing essays, presentations, annotated bibliographies and a major research project in the form of a dissertation.

　　If you?re looking to advance your teaching career or move into academia, this postgraduate course is for you. The skills you learn will provide new directions for your future career and form the basis for your future study. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
