Course overview In this course you immerse yourself in the world of Shakespeare in his beautiful hometown, Stratford-upon-Avon. By studying at our dedicated Shakespeare Institute research centre, you’ll learn from our academic experts and join a community who share your love of Shakespeare. Pursue your passion for Shakespeare and discover new ways to approach his works. Our MA Shakespeare includes the optional pathway MA Shakespeare with Education. This pathway is suitable if you work in education, or you're interested in working in education. Study Shakespeare through different lenses based on the latest research of our Shakespeare academics. The University has a unique collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), offering you opportunities outside the MA to enhance your studies and see Shakespeare’s works brought to life on-stage. Course highlights Benefit from our wide ranging expertise in the study of Shakespeare. You'll explore critical, historical and theatrical approaches to Shakespeare, deepening your understanding of his impact on literature and theatre.
You should have, or expect to get, a 2:1 Honours degree in English or a related subject. If you don't have the required academic background, you can study our Fall in with Shakespeare or Spring into Shakespeare short course before applying for the MA. Completing one of the short courses can be used instead of a 2:1 Honours degree as entry onto the MA Shakespeare or MA Shakespeare with Education pathway. We may also require you to submit a writing sample of approximately 2000 words on Shakespeare or a similar topic related to Early Modern drama, but this will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
