Course Overview

As well as deepening your knowledge in your chosen areas in the linguistics field, you will also develop transferable skills, such as research, analysis, and presentation skills.

Completing an MA can be the first step in an academic career in Higher or Further Education while enhancing your career options outside academia.

One popular career choice is teaching English in the UK, having completed a PGCE or abroad with a TEFL or TESOL qualification. Many of our students go on to careers as journalists in local, national, and specialist newspapers and magazines. The fields of publishing, advertising, arts administration, PR, television, the film industry, and other media-related jobs are also ideal destinations for English Studies graduates.

Previous graduates have gone on to careers as

  • archivists

  • civil servants

  • librarians

  • parliamentary researchers

  • social workers

  • IT consultants

  • accountants

  • solicitors or barristers after completing a Law conversion course

General Eligibility

2:1 degree in English literature or its equivalent.

Part Time Work Details

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.

Language Requirement

  • IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. If your first language is not English, you may need to prove your English ability. If you do not yet meet our requirements, our English Language Teaching Unit (ELTU) offers a range of courses to help you to improve your English to the necessary standard.
