Master of Letters
The Master of Letters (common abbreviation as MLitt , from Latin: Magister litterarum ) is an academic postgraduate degree in a literature, art, history or economics research course. You can find degrees of this kind ( Research Master Degrees ) mainly in Great Britain, Ireland, Australia and, more rarely, in the USA.
Great Britain
The MLitt is awarded at a few universities in Great Britain, including a .:
It is often used as a differentiating criterion in the confusing market for "Master of Science" or "Master of Arts" degrees, as it is mainly awarded by universities, which are among the most prestigious in Europe. Most universities do a similar thing to Bristol University in that they require the University Senate to handpick and accept the graduate applicant as an entry requirement . The MLitt is not infrequently rated higher in the hierarchy than the Philosophy Master's degree and, as at the Wycliffe Hall at the University of Oxford, is made dependent on the previous acquisition of a degree such as “Master of Studies” or “Master of Philosophy”. Many universities in England, Wales and Scotland offer Master of Letters as an alternative to Master of Philosophy. The research courses are usually two-year long and contain little or no compulsory courses.
This qualification can also be found in a wide field of economics such as international business, but also in the humanities such as " Divinity , Fine Art , Humanities or Social Sciences ."
