Complete a second masters degree in an Arts subject.

Programme overview

The MLitt is an alternative to the PhD if you already have a masters degree and want to complete a substantial research project. You can complete an MLitt in most subjects offered by the Faculty of Arts, subject to approval and availability of supervision. You may be able to further your research interests in the same subject as your first masters degree, or undertake research in a new area.

Latin:

Latin was the language of the ancient Romans, and for 1500 years the principal international language of Europe.

Where can Latin take you?

An MLitt could be useful for a range of academic or professional careers, especially if you don’t want to undertake doctoral study.
