English and Literacy Studies - Master's Degree Programme

Is the book an endangered species? Are text messages destroying the English language? How do children learn to read and write? What does reading do to your minds?

Literacy Studies is defined as the study of reading, writing and the written text in a social and cultural context. This master's programme focuses on literacy studies in an English-speaking context, and includes literary, linguistic and educational approaches.

The programme provides high-quality instruction in an intimate but dynamic research environment with many international links.
