Course summary

About the course

This is a two-year, part-time MSt degree in interdisciplinary studies in the humanities. It is focused on the study of British history and culture through the lens of four humanities disciplines: literature, history, history of art, and philosophy. The course is structured around four five-day residences and two online modules.

Based in Oxford, and taking full advantage of the remarkable resources that this university has at its disposal, the Literature and Arts course is designed around three sequential periods of British history: the early modern period (c 1500-1700), the 鈥榣ong鈥� eighteenth century (c 1688-1800), and the 鈥榣ong鈥� nineteenth century (c 1800-1914). British history is understood in an expansive sense that includes Britain鈥檚 relationships with the rest of the world.

By studying each period through the lens of multiple disciplines, you will have the opportunity to acquire a multi-faceted picture of the past and explore connections between different aspects of British culture and society. In this framework giant achievements such as Shakespeare鈥檚 plays or Turner鈥檚 art can be understood not only as uniquely inspired works but also as products of their times and influences on future developments.

The MSt in Literature and Arts (MLA) is a two-year, part-time course.

In year one, there are three compulsory five-day residences and one online module consisting of nine units (Core course two).

In year two, there is one compulsory residence and one online module (Core course three).

Although the online modules are not assessed, it is a requirement that you engage with the online modules to the satisfaction of the course director. The online modules are fully supported by a dedicated Virtual Learning Environment.

Students are supported by tutorials with the course director before or during each residence, input from the course director in asynchronous discussions in the online modules, supervision from tutors in relation to each assignment, and supervision from a dissertation supervisor or supervisors. The course director is also able to offer support at any time throughout the course by email/phone.After taking a broad view of British history and culture in a global context at the first residence (Core course one), the three subsequent residences enable you to choose from a range of subjects, each rooted in one of the core disciplines of literature, history, history of art and material culture, and philosophy. You will take two options out of four offered. Please note that due to timetabling constraints it may not always be possible to allocate you to your first and second choices.
