If you love reading and want to advance and gain research skills that will provide new directions for future employment and form the basis for further study, this is the postgraduate course for you.

The core modules focus on three key areas: Literature and Landscape Utopias and Dystopias and a special topic, such as life writing or children’s literature. You'll study texts – both fiction and non-fiction – from different periods and a range of genres and consider the relationship between each text and the political, social, historical, scientific and/or religious contexts of its production.

You'll gain skills in research, critical thinking, fluent expression, and enterprise, and can add further strings to your bow with optional modules including novel writing, publishing, and history.
