专业介绍

Program Description

For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex.

A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.

Master of Letters - Literature

On this four-year MLitSt Literature, students will be part of an interdisciplinary department where literary critics work alongside practicing poets, dramatists, film-makers, novelists and journalists.

• Literatures of slavery and emancipation
• Themes of love, desire and death
• Identity, diversity and voice in United States literature
• Shakespeare’s tragedies
• Postcolonial literature
• Romantic, Gothic, naturalist, realist and sentimental writing
• 20th and 21st century literature
• Modernism, postmodernism, dystopias, and science fiction
• European, Caribbean and Transatlantic literature

In the fourth year, as post-graduate students, they will be able to choose from the following masters level modules in literature and, if they wish, creative writing:

At Essex, students can study modules which examine a variety of genres, including travel writing, the podcast, and autobiography among others, and work across different media, including books, newspapers, plays and film. Their modules not only span momentous historical, political and social worldwide events, but also examine the alternative worlds that literature has produced.
