MA English Literature 

at University of Bristol, Bristol

Applicants will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or an international equivalent with 60% or above in any dissertation/research component. In cases where an undergraduate transcript does not contain a research element such as a dissertation, we may ask applicants to provide an example of their academic writing that demonstrates capacity for independent research.

For applicants who are currently completing a degree, we understand that their final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades they achieve during their studies.

University will consider applicants whose interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements. they may make these applicants an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so the applicant would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of their degree. Specific module requirements may still apply.

University will also consider the application if the final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement. If students have at least one of the following, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when apply, showing details of the relevant qualifications:

• Evidence of significant, relevant work experience in the Creative Industries, Journalism, Teaching, Curating, Museums, Publishing or Editing.
• A relevant postgraduate qualification.
