Humanities – MA/MRes Courses
From forensic linguistics, to the ethics of AI, and the impact of refugee and migrant literature on society, research can change minds, open new opportunities and become the basis for new policy.
At Nottingham Trent University, our Masters by Research courses allow you the freedom to research what matters to you, with the guidance of a taught Masters.
MRes English Literary Research opens your mind to new approaches to the study of literature, and you will have the opportunity to study authors, literary movements, themes or critical ideas in depth. You can even specialise in a range of subjects including Literature and Ecology, Theatre and Performance, Women’s Writing, and Refugee and Migrant Writing.
MA Linguistics (by research) is ideal for those interested in language and communication. From making court judgements more understandable, to examining ambiguity in the Government’s COVID-19 briefings, researching subtle changes in our use of language can have huge benefits for the future.
MA Philosophy (by research) carries you on an intellectual journey through some of the ultimate questions of human life. With a special emphasis on real-world applications, you can explore research interests from Contemporary Feminism, and Moral Status, to the Philosophy of Language, of the Mind, or even of Globalisation.
