Important note for MLitt research degree prospective students

Graduates wishing to pursue the research degree of MLitt may do so for the purposes of a stand-alone award. It is not a progression route to a PhD degree. Therefore, students registered for the MLitt research degree have no automatic transfer opportunity to a PhD programme. However, students on PhD research have the possibility to exit their programme early with an MLitt providing that they have satisfied the requirements for that award.

For admission to an MLitt degree, a primary degree with upper second class honours or equivalent is a minimum requirement.

Course Code: MLITT-CELT
