PostgraduateCourse summary
The Modern Literature (MA) provides a theoretical framework for literary study before focusing on topic and genre-based modules.

Entry requirements
Applicants are expected to have a good first degree (a first or upper second), although every application is considered in its own merit, so places may be offered on the basis of professional qualification and relevant experiences.
