Individual Modules at Dundee
We are offering a wide range of stand alone modules which students may take as part of the study abroad or to gain more credits at Postgraduate Level. We would like to especially welcome international students who are willing to acquire new skills at a foreign institution.

These modules would enable you to develop specialist expertise in a topic new to you or maybe refresh your knowledge in one that is familiar but which you studied long ago. Perhaps you already work in the area but need to understand its foundations.

For more information and a list of available modules please contact Postgraduate Secretary - Ms Daria Wall

**A little bit more about our new and exciting degrees**

- The MLitt in Comics Studies is the only one of its kind in the UK, a one year course allowing students to examine comics and graphic novels in terms of genre, style, formal properties and history, while also providing, in various option modules, the opportunity to focus on the creative aspects of comics production.

- Our Creative Writing Programme at the University of Dundee is
like no other. Small, bespoke, intimate… We offer students an
experience that gets you writing from week one and has you
feeling like a real writer from the very start of your course.
