Students will be encouraged to develop a critical and methodological framework, and to pursue questions relating to literary and cultural production alongside an individual research project. Within a flexible framework, students will be able to study particular areas in depth or explore topics broadly relevant to intended research. Each student works closely with a member of the Faculty on his or her chosen dissertation topic while participating in collaborative seminars and classes.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course students should have:
- developed a deeper knowledge ofÊ contemporary literary criticism and literary and cultural theory in general, and of their chosen area of research in particular; and
- developed an understanding of critical debates which allows the evaluation of current research in their dissertation field.
Continuing
MPhil students may apply to continue to a PhD in English; the minimum academic condition for continuation is a pass in the MPhil course. Other conditions may be imposed.
