No, MA Linguistics and an MA English Literature are not the same. MA English Literature is about Literature written by noteworthy writers. Linguistics is considered to be the Science of language. In Linguistics, you study the Science of language, words, phrases & sentences. In terms of employment prospects, an MA in English Literature has a wider scope of opportunities. 

Hope it's clear now.

Both modes are available when it comes to MA English.

Each has its pros and cons:

  • There is scope for group discussion and peer-to-peer interactions.
  • Drama can be taught effectively by enacting the characters.
  • It can improve the spoken English of students.

The benefits of the distance learning mode of MA English Literature are as follows:

  • Students can enrol in the course beyond geographical barriers.
  • It can help them come up with unique and original interpretations of poems and other forms of Literature.

Hope this helps!
