Course Summary

A Masters by Research (MScR) programme is ideal if you have a clear idea of the independent research you wish to undertake at Masters level.

Our research expertise includes: 18th century and Romanticism studies; Bertolt Brecht; censorship studies; contemporary German literature; cultural and political studies and literary theory; Film Studies; Gender Studies; identity studies; LGBTQI+ representation.
