Study Details: MA 1 year full-time, 2-3 years part-time
This programme offers an unrivalled opportunity to study Shakespeare in the heart of his hometown, Stratford-upon-Avon.
Delivered by and taught at The Shakespeare Institute, it develops a critical but appreciative understanding of Shakespeare’s contribution to literary and theatrical history, and the place his works occupy in today’s cultural landscape.
It provides you with a rigorous and wide-ranging knowledge of approaches to the study of Shakespeare, with emphasis on criticism, textual studies, Global Shakespeare, the plays in performance, the history of Shakespeare's reception, and Shakespeare and education.
Our usual entry requirement for this programme is a 2:1 Honours degree, or equivalent, in English or a related subject.
If you do not have a 2:1 Honours degree (or equivalent) in English or a related subject, you may be interested in our short courses in Shakespeare: Spring into Shakespeare or Fall in with Shakespeare. Completion of either one of these short courses can be used in place of the Honours degree entry requirements for our MA programmes in Shakespeare, Shakespeare and Education, and Shakespeare and Creativity.
Please note that all applications are treated on their merits, and we will review your references, personal statement and past experience alongside your qualifications when considering your application.
In addition to the usual supporting documents, when you apply for this course we ask you to submit an example of your written work; this will preferably be an essay on Shakespeare, of about 2,000 words. If you do not have a piece of work that is of the right length it is better to send something that is longer rather than shorter so that we have a better chance to assess your critical writing on a literary topic.
