Integrated Masters - Master of Arts (Honours) - English

In this course students can study the history of English literature, from the medieval period right up to the present day. Start with a basic overview of the subject and move towards choosing modules to suit their own interests.

A range of modules give students the option to study anything from Shakespeare to science fiction, Romantic to contemporary poetry, or Victorian novels to Hollywood films. University of Dundee is also a world leader in comics studies and offer modules that consider the relationship between graphic novels and canonical literature.

Dundee starts by covering topics such as how to analyze a poem and how to read a novel as a literary critic, moving on to historical surveys of literature. They then explore in more detail many of the periods, movements, and topics previously covered. The modules Dundee offers throughout the degree reflect the diverse research specialisms of the staff, giving students an extremely varied range of choices.

In Levels 1 and 2, students will also complement their specialist subject by studying additional Humanities or Social Sciences subjects such as History, Philosophy, or Geography.
