The Master of Arts (Bibliographical and Textual Studies) by major thesis or by coursework and minor thesis is offered by the Department of Librarianship, Archives and Records.
This degree may be taken either by (in exceptional circumstances) research resulting in the completion of a major thesis which shows independence of thought and demonstrates the ability of the candidate to carry out research in the selected field or (most often) by coursework and minor thesis. The degree is open to graduates with a good pass degree (normally a credit average in the third stage). In special circumstances applicants without formal qualifications may be admitted. The course may be completed in a minimum of one year of full-time and a maximum of three years full-time study, or a minimum of two years of part-time and a maximum of five years part-time study.
This course is an interdepartmental MA program coordinated by the centre for Bibliographical and Textual Studies of the Faculty of Arts.
