The M.A. in English has a focus on the literary and linguistic analysis of English and is aimed at students with advanced English proficiency. To access the M.A. in English, a B.A. degree in English is required with modules covering English literature, literary analysis, and linguistic analysis of English. A grade average of at least 7.25 (first class) is required. New students must have English language proficiency at the upper C1 level and confirm it with TOEFL 100, IELTS 7.5.
Students can be exempt from providing a TOEFL or IELTS score if the following criteria is met:
A complete bachelor or masters degree taught in English in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, UK or the US (however, please be aware that if your degree is a collaboration between a university in one of these countries and a second country not on the list, it will not count for this exemption). Please note that a bachelor or masters degree taught in English does not fulfil the requirement unless it is one of the specific cases listed above.
