Course Overview

This degree provides a rigorous course that interrogates the literary, creative, social, cultural, political, and historical contexts in the field of children's literature. You will explore landmark books such as The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe or The Railway Children, alongside the contemporary innovations of Jacqueline Woodson or Emily Gravett. You will work with staff who have international reputations in areas such as philosophy in children's literature, popular fiction, adolescence and Young Adult, early children's books, and writing for young people. You will also benefit from a series of guest speakers, extra-curricular activities, and field trips that will enhance your student experience and ensure you get the most out of your studies. As a Children's Literature student you will become a member of the National Centre for Research in Children's Literature (NCRCL), regarded as the premier institution for children's literature research in Britain. The NCRCL has close links with organizations that work to further the study and teaching of children's literature, including The International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), Seven Stories (The National Centre for Children's Books), and Booktrust. The centre also co-organizes an annual one-day British IBBY/NCRCL MA Conference and runs a regular NCRCL Conference, showcasing themes from members' research interests. Keynote speakers have included Jacqueline Wilson, Malorie Blackman, Michael Rosen, Matthew Grenby, Farrukh Dhondy, Emer O'Sullivan, Neil Gaiman, Jamila Gavin, and Julia Eccleshare.

General Eligibility

You should usually hold a second-class honors degree (certain programs may require a 2:1) from a recognized British or overseas university.
