Oxford University Masters Programmes

Our Masters programmes are designed to serve both as an autonomous degree and as a solid foundation for those who wish to pursue more advanced research in literature in Oxford or elsewhere. One of the special features of this degree is that, unlike many master's programmes, it provides opportunities for you to pursue topics across period boundaries if you so wish.
We offer a 9-month M.St. programme (in each of 8 strands) and a 2-year M.Phil. in English Studies (Medieval Period). Further information about each of these is available below.
M.St. English Language and Literature (650 –1550)
M.St. English Language and Literature (1550-1700)
M.St. English Language and Literature (1700-1830)
M.St. English Language and Literature (1830–1914)
M.St. English Language and Literature (1900- Present)
M.St. English and American Studies
M.St. World Literatures in English
M.St. English Language
M.Phil. English Studies (Medieval Period)

When selecting your course during the application process, please ensure you choose the correct period strand.This will determine the core courses that you take, but it will not constrain your choice of options. Information on the options offered in 2013/14 may be found below; please note that this should be used as a guide only, as options on offer will change from year to year.

Other M.St. programmes that the Faculty is involved in include:
M.St. Film Aesthetics
M.St. Medieval Studies
M.St. Women’s Studies
