The degree is structured through a series of seminars in which you discuss critical issues in writing and through a series of workshops in which you critique your own and others’ writing. One of the distinctive aspects of this programme is that it provides experience of how writing can relate to the wider community through a placement or project.

It aims to investigate the key texts and concepts which shape our understanding of literature and culture across a period of unprecedented change. The programme pursues this goal in two ways: through an examination of the aesthetic and cultural assumptions of different ‘modern’ movements; and through an examination of issues in modern writing, particularly those relating to modernity (mass culture, revolution and technology) and post-modernity (space, simulation and paranoia). Throughout, texts studied may be related to developments in other cultural practices.
