This new MA breaks down traditional boundaries between late medieval, early modern and eighteenth-century studies. Students in this programme explore the social lives of texts, as well as the technologies that have shaped literature through time. Designed for graduates from across the arts, humanities and social sciences and based in the English Discipline, this programme combines a strong focus on literary history with a commitment to multidisciplinary enquiry. NUI Galway is currently the most exciting place in Ireland to study Texts, Technologies and Transitions, 1350–1800. Our numerous members of staff working in this area have strengths in the growing fields of book history, textual studies and digital humanities.

Graduates of programmes like ours have often chosen to go on to teaching, writing, editing, publishing, broadcasting or further academic research (e.g. PhDs). While these remain common career paths, the excellent oral and written communication skills, the advanced research skills and the critical thinking skills that an English MA cultivates are highly valued by employers in both the public and private sectors, and a qualification like this might alternatively lead you to a future career in marketing, sales, arts administration, IT, public relations or human resources.
