Course Structure
You may follow the MA in Critical Theory and Cultural Studies over 1 year, full-time (October to September) or part-time over 2 to 3 years.
If you decide to study as a full-time student, you will be expected to take two core modules in your first semester and two optional modules in your second semester, plus a dissertation over the summer period.
You do have the option to study the course over 24 or 36 months as a part-time student, depending on your individual circumstances.
The teaching on this course is largely seminar-based, which will allow you to actively engage with thinkers as diverse as Raymond Williams and Stuart Hall, Pierre Bourdieu and Judith Butler.
This is supported by lectures providing the philosophical background to such theorists´ work.
For the convenience of our part-time students, teaching for this MA programme usually occurs at 7pm (traditionally on Tuesday and Thursday evenings).
You will be encouraged to develop the scholarly tools required for doctoral research through a 5,000-word written assignment for each module you complete.
The dissertation module is assessed by a written work of up to 20,000 words - this is usually submitted in early September.
We also offer a Postgraduate Diploma in Critical Theory and Cultural Studies
