Applying for Glasgow University's English Literature MA

I'm an international student considering applying for the English Literature MA program at the University of Glasgow.

The minimum entry requirements are AAB-BBB, including one humanities subject. I believe I meet these criteria with my advanced level subjects in Business, Economics (considered a humanities subject), and Accounting. In my AS level exams, I got 3A’s and expect a final result of A*AA.

Additionally, I got an A in English Literature at the GCSE ordinary level.

In terms of extracurriculars, I've been actively involved in Model United Nations, the student parliament, the interact club+ interact club editorial circle)t.

I've also worked part-time as a video narrator and have a personal blog (I write about personal finance and self-improvement)

Since I didn’t take English Literature as an A-level subject, I'm curious about my chances of admission. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Good Afternoon Siwdina,

Thanks for getting in touch. I hope you're doing well?

Great to hear you're thinking about studying our MA English Literature programme.

English A-Level is not mandatory for English Literature programme. We do require applicants to hold at least 1 Humanities A-Level. We would consider Economics as a humanities-based subject. Therefore, if you achieve your expected grades, we could consider an application.

Hope this has helped 🙂 you can see more information on our A-Levels policy here - https://www.gla.ac.uk/undergraduate/entryrequirements/guidance/#a-levels

Thanks,
Niall
