This course allows you to customise your degree by combining a broad range of subjects from English language and literature or by specialising in a chosen area. It offers increased flexibility and the latest methods in online distance learning.

Overview

Study that fits your lifestyle

If you want to develop your specialism or study what you love, but without the constraints of a set curriculum, the MA Applied English is for you.

Our distance learning goes beyond traditional modules and essays. Now you can study ‘pods’, non-credit bearing segments of study, created by subject matter experts.

You can choose pods from across our different MA courses (listed below) to create a path that’s unique to you. This means you will graduate with an MA in Applied English. Alternatively, you can specialise by choosing pods from a specific MA pathway, meaning you will graduate in one of the MA courses listed below. To specialise, you must choose six pods plus the dissertation/research project from one area.

Why choose this course?

• Benefit from teaching material which is relevant to you, drawing on your career and own life experiences
• Choose a broad or specialised degree, with flexibility to change along the way
• Tailor your degree to suit your study goals, choosing from a wide range of subjects
• Choose from three submission points throughout the year, rather than working toward set deadlines
• Submit your choice of assessment type, from presentations to blog posts
• Receive individual support from expert academics and a dedicated personal advisor
• Meet your tutors and fellow students at our annual Summer School event
