Building on your existing knowledge, this course will advance your understanding of literary theory, sharpen your academic writing and add authority to your critical voice. We’ll equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to start debating pressing questions about how notions of literary value change over time, how literature responds to and shapes social change, and how innovations in publishing have transformed writing.
If you aspire to go on to doctoral research, this course is ideal for you. The course is also a great choice if you’re looking for a broad overview of Anglophone culture or you want to develop an impressive level of knowledge within a particular field of literature.

About this course
In a world of information overload and 'alternative facts', the ability to read between the lines is more valuable than ever. Studying English literature equips you with the skills to do this. Our MA English Literature will further enhance your ability to analyse words and literary forms, while also deepening your knowledge of literary periods and movements, important authors and texts.
At Surrey you'll benefit from the expertise of literary-studies academics who are leaders in their fields and who will inspire you to extend your understanding of literary theory, genre, and literary history, introducing you to a variety of up-to-date approaches to literary study.
A minimum of a 2:1 UK honours degree in English Literature, History, or Philosophy, or a recognised equivalent international qualification. We may also ask you to attend an interview or provide a sample of written work. We might also consider you if you have another degree subject on a case-by-case basis.
