World Literatures in English

专业详情

The English master’s programmes are designed to serve both as an autonomous degree for students wishing to pursue more advanced studies in English literature, and as a solid foundation for doctoral research.

Course structure

In line with the other MSt strands in the English Faculty, the MSt is made up of four elements:

• the ‘A’ course, intended as an introduction to key themes and debates in postcolonial and world literatures;
• a ‘B’ course on book history, including postcolonial and world literature approaches to book history;
• two ‘C’ or option courses, one in Michaelmas term and one in Hilary term; and
• a ‘D’ element, the dissertation, which is handed in at the end of the final term, Trinity (June).
