Literature, Culture & Place Masters

main content

The Masters in Literature, Culture and Place is unique in the UK. The course combines a broad range of periods and places with specialist expertise. It exploits rare local resources, such as the university library's collections of eighteenth-century travel writing, the National Gallery of Scotland's  landscape collection, and Canadian collections at the National Library of Scotland.

Students choose five options and take a class in research skills. You also write a dissertation of 15,000 words on a relevant subject of your choice under expert supervision.

Students with a first degree in literary or cultural studies (or a cognate subject) will find the masters relevant to careers in teaching, the media, the arts, heritage, tourism and other fields. Those considering a PhD will also find it a valuable stepping stone. Visiting students come for all or part of the course. Visiting students can take credits to their home institutions.

Current students should consult Myplace for current course information.

The course director is Dr Richard Niland.
