English (Online)

On this English (Online) course from the University of Nottingham , 'pods' are taken in place of modules. You can choose from a broad range of pods of study, created by subject experts, to build your own program. Your curriculum will be unique to you, and you can choose to work towards one of our specialist pathways below if you wish:

• Applied Linguistics
• Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching
• English Literature
• Language and Linguistics
• Literary Linguistics
• Medieval Englishes
• Modern and Contemporary Literature
• Name-Studies
• Norse and Viking Studies
• Professional Communication

• World Literatures

You don't need to decide right at the beginning where you will end up: your final degree depends on studying at least two-thirds of your course in a specialised area, and you will be able to discuss this with your Personal Advisor as you go. Whatever your choices, you will graduate with an MA in English. If your options don’t fit a particular pathway, your degree outcome will be MA English (Applied English).

Most students complete this course in around three years. However, you can adjust your study schedule to best suit your circumstances, with a minimum registration period of two years. Please note, if you are in receipt of a Student Finance England loan, you will be on a three-year completion schedule as standard.
