Aims of the Programme:
This programme aims to provide a one-year training in literary and cultural research as a firm basis for proceeding to doctoral work, as well as a one-year taught postgraduate programme to suit individual student research interests and research needs
The programme also intends to enable completion of a dissertation of 15,000-20,000 words: an independent piece of work based on primary texts and sources.
