Computing Science / English Literature, MA (Hons)

Computing Science encompasses a broad spectrum, from programming and engineering large-scale software systems to designing and evaluating human-computer interfaces, algorithms, computer and network systems, artificial intelligence, information retrieval, and big data. English Literature explores works from early modern to postmodern eras, drawing on expertise in American, Irish and postcolonial literatures, critical theory, creative writing, and intersections with arts, media, and science.At the University of Glasgow, the School of Computing Science's pioneering Centre for Computing Science Education underscores its leadership in innovative teaching. Students access the world-class Hunterian collection and Library’s Special Collections, strong in 18th- and 19th-century materials, travel, illuminated manuscripts, and key author holdings. Graduates secure roles as software engineers and systems analysts at firms like Google, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Skyscanner, and Yahoo. English Literature degrees are prized across arts, education, media, PR, finance, business, and technology for skills in argumentation, cognitive flexibility, collaboration, creativity, and critical analysis, bolstered by dedicated careers support.
