Student Profile(s)

Andrew McCabe

It was interesting, and it was nice to go more in-depth than you do as an undergraduate student. It's opened my eyes to new areas of literature that I'd be interested to read.

The faculty are second to none and they really do go out on a limb to help. It's very diverse. The modules that you study, and the people who teach them – it's their life work, you're not going to get anything anywhere else that's better.

Anthony Anderson

I chose to study at the University of Sunderland because the expertise of the faculty aligned with my interests and areas of academia I wished to pursue. I wanted to further my knowledge and expertise around English as a subject before heading into teaching. I was working full-time prior to returning to academia.

The best aspects of the course include the debates in lectures and the opportunity to research ideas that you’re passionate about. I recommend anyone wanting to study MA English Studies to have a plan, do your research, develop a strong work ethic and most importantly, believe in your ability.

Since graduation, I have been accepted onto the PhD programme at Sunderland and aim to teach after graduation. My experience at the University of Sunderland has been inspirational and life-changing.
