English at Leicester
Postgraduate study
There are many reasons to study literature in English at advanced level: to explore other times and cultures; to develop your research and communication skills, or hone your abilities as an imaginative writer; to pursue career goals or simply because you love reading and writing.
All are possible on our MAs, where you will work to develop your interests with internationally recognised experts in the discipline.
