Our MA English Literary Studies offers you the freedom to explore a wide range of themes, genres and periods of time in literature.
We have a commitment to research-led teaching, which is carried out by globally renowned scholars. The breadth and depth of activity in the Department fosters a lively learning environment and offers plenty of opportunities to follow your own interests or explore new areas of study.
You will select three elective modules from a broad range of English Literary themes and genres – which might include Romanticism, Medieval Literature, Renaissance, and Modernism – or from other options across the Arts & Humanities Faculty. Your studies will benefit from the work taking place in research centres and institutes within Durham University, such as the Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, the Centre for Nineteenth Century Studies, the Centre for Culture and Ecology, and the Institute for Medical Humanities.
We offer this MA course as a one-year, full-time option or through part-time study over two years. The flexibility and broad choice mean you will be able to study the fields of literature that interest you and give you the greatest pleasure, all within a learning framework that helps you gain subject skills and specialist knowledge, leading up to your independent dissertation.
