About this programme
Course Details Fees Admissions Requirements Register your Interest Apply Overview Course Overview This taught Masters programme in Children’s Literature encompasses everything from picturebooks through to Young Adult fiction and runs on a full-time (one year) or part-time (two years) basis. It examines the complexities of children’s texts; explores multiple genres, readerships, publishing trends and modes of criticism; pays particular attention to issues of diversity and inclusion; and covers a huge body of English-language literature from around the world, from four-hundred-year-old texts to the latest publications. This is a wonderful opportunity to spend a whole year (or two!) reading, researching, and debating children’s literature at Trinity College, right in the heart of Dublin, a UNESCO City of Literature.
