Course Overview

To provide students with the opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge and understanding of English Literary Studies, enabling students to pursue specialized fields of study (via guided pathways in specialist areas) or to choose a flexible arrangement of topics that bypass traditional period or national boundaries.

The MA in English Literary Studies offers a number of special features. Some of the American Literature and Culture topics will engage with contemporary examples of American art and culture through fieldwork. Some modules use connections to the History subject area and to the archives in Armagh, Belfast, and Trinity College Dublin.

You will be taught by staff with interests that range across the English subject area and who have research profiles of international standing.
