As course leader for said Westminster MA I endorse this message :) A lovely afternoon talking about our modules and the great work our students produce
Spent the day at Westminster University doing external examining for their MA in English. It’s a fine course and well worth considering. I’m also the EE for another wonderful one: Aberystwyth’s MA in contemporary literature. Do both!
