Admission Requirements
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 approx. 2000 words on Shakespeare or a similar topic related to Early Modern drama, but this will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
