About Master of Arts - English Literature
The English Literature MA is a rigorous, challenging and fascinating course which enables students to study diverse literary texts and engage with cutting-edge theoretical and critical approaches. This course focuses on literature that explores the limits of human experience and contravenes cultural boundaries. Students will consider how writing has been a catalyst for social and political change. They will develop their understanding of literary and theoretical texts and sharpen their skills of literary research, writing and analysis.
Option modules enable students to examine a range of contentious issues across historical periods and genres. Through a 15,000 word dissertation, they will research a subject of their choice, with support and supervision from a specialist member of staff.
As part of Kingston School of Art, students on this course benefit from joining a creative community where collaborative working and critical practice are encouraged. Several modules are complemented by field trips, such as to the British Library, museums and theatres. Students will be assessed by both traditional and more innovative means, including critical essays, a dissertation, blogs, and multi-media presentations.
This English Literature course is designed for students who have a personal or a professional interest in literature. It is particularly suited for those wishing to enhance their careers in areas such as: publishing, library, and museum services, journalism, teaching, the arts in general, the creative industries or any other context where a knowledge of literature and skills in critical analysis are of importance. For those interested in further research, the course also provides an excellent foundation for MPhil/PhD-level study in English literature.
