Our taught Master's programme offers a unique
opportunity to pursue in-depth studies in English Linguistics and Literature,
combined with capstone courses for students to research and develop their own areas
of interest. The new, exciting capstone experience will culminate in a research
paper and a creative project to be presented at a conference for the academic and
wider community.
Students will be introduced to a wide range of domains in
English Linguistics and Literature, taught by leading specialists in the field.
Along with introductory courses that provide foundational knowledge, Linguistics
courses include Global Englishes, Cultural Semiotics, Politics of English. Literary
courses include Travel Writing and Culture, World Modernism and Global Fictions.
The programme has a cross-cultural focus on English Language and
Literature. Taking advantage of Hong Kong's historical, geographical and political
background, our courses consider language and literature in relation to Hong Kong's
position in the global world.
Programme Structure
Our programme is
available in both full-time and part-time modes. The full-time programme is an
intensive one-year course. Full-time students will have the option of specialising
in either the Linguistics or Literature stream. The part-time programme is offered
over the course of two years. The programme consists of two introductory courses,
four seminar courses, and a capstone experience in the form of a final research
project and a conference paper to be presented at a conference.
