This programme takes a fresh approach to MA level provision by combining the academic and critical thinking skills of the traditional humanities Masters with core professional skills and a real-world problem-solving approach.<br/><br/>Your existing subject knowledge, research interests, cultural background and life experiences will inform discussions and to a large extent the course content. You will work independently on projects of your own design as well as in collaboration with other students and/or organisations, creating a network of contacts and developing your professional profile. You will develop core skills and practice transformative thinking and problem-solving in readiness for graduate employment or further academic research.<br/><br/>**What does the course cover?**<br/><br/>The programme begins with an introduction to the New Humanities, covering subjects such as new materialism, postcriticism, and posthumanism and considering the varied ways in which the humanities intersects with the environmental, digital and medical spaces. As you progress through the course, you will be trained in how to research effectively at Level 7 and be given opportunities to explore the applications of the humanities to real-world problems and debates.<br/><br/>In addition, you will explore how the knowledge and skills developed through the humanities adapts to professional spaces and, through student-led projects, explore the value of the humanities to various sectors and current issues in theory and practice. Over the course of the programme, you will develop a portfolio of work which showcases your skills as you identify and critically examine debates and offer transformative solutions.
