The Mastering English Literature Pathway course welcomes graduates from any discipline who want to return to study; whether you’re reigniting a passion, exploring a new direction, or preparing for postgraduate work. It’s an excellent pathway toward MA study in English Literature, Black Humanities, or Creative Writing, and equally rewarding if you’re learning simply for pleasure.

You’ll sample the University’s wide literary expertise, from Medieval writing and Shakespeare to 20thcentury and contemporary literature, environmental humanities, Black diasporic writing, and creative practice. It’s an opportunity to read widely, think deeply, and reconnect with the joy of learning in a supportive community.
