This Module Directory contains listings for all Masters modules that the School of English and Drama intends to teach during the coming academic session. There is an overview page for each Programme and Pathway explaining the specific module requirements for both full-time and part-time students:

MA English Literature students ONLY: Once you have reviewed the information relevant to your degree, complete the online Module Preferences Form to let us know which electives you wish to study during Semester A. Students on other programmes take compulsory modules during Semester A and do not need to provide further information before enrolling. Part-time students continuing to the second year of study will be contacted directly.

Links to the online Module Preferences Form will be made available on the front page of the SED MA Module Directory (the form is typically open between late July and early September).

 

As well as the official module code and module title, each individual module entry contains a table containing the following information. Please refer to the template below in order to understand what this information tells you.

Key Information & Preparation Guidance about how to prepare for the module, including advisory information about reading to complete over the period before teaching begins. If study on the module incurs student expenses (e.g. theatre trips) other than the acquisition of study materials, this will also be detailed here.
