Integrated Masters - Master of Arts (Honours) - English and Psychology

In this course students can study the history of English literature, from the medieval period right up to the present day. Start with a basic overview of the subject and move towards choosing modules to suit their own interests.

A range of modules give students the option to study anything from Shakespeare to science fiction, Romantic to contemporary poetry, or Victorian novels to Hollywood films. University of Dundee is also a world leader in comics studies and offer modules that consider the relationship between graphic novels and canonical literature.

Dundee will start by covering topics such as how to analyze a poem and how to read a novel as a literary critic, moving on to historical surveys of literature. They then explore in more detail many of the periods, movements, and topics previously covered.

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. Topics Dundee covers include how babies learn, the way in which people's mental skills change as they grow older, personalities types, and social group dynamics. Students will also study different psychological disorders.

In addition to exploring these aspects of human nature, students will learn how to think critically and to solve problems. They will teach students to analyze data, write clearly and effectively, and be a confident communicator of science. Students will learn how to plan, implement and analyze their own research project.
