The School of European Languages offers two modular taught courses leading to a Master's degree. The first one-year scheme provides a central compulsory module on study and research skills in the humanities, common to all departments within the School. In addition, you choose modules from your department and complete a dissertation of around 15,000 words. The aim of these courses is to broaden knowledge of these literary periods and to study various aspects of literary technique. These modules may be combined to allow candidates to follow a single thread, or to mix and match in order to specialise in modern or in earlier literature.
Assessment is by coursework.
The Department also participates in the MA in Literary Translation offered within the School of European Languages. Modules are available in translation to and from both English and Welsh. The School structure allows candidates to combine modules in different modern languages.
