    Hello guys and girls,

    Just looking for a bit of information regarding the Master programmes in ucc in English. I know the main things: you have to apply on the PAC website, etc. What I mainly want to know is what sort of average would someone need? The H.dip nowadays is about 63/64%. Is the masters something similar? Also, do they just take your English average into account or is it both of your subjects? Any replies would be much appreciated :cool:

    Which MA are you interested in specifically? The MA in English is divided into sub categories - Irish Writing, American Literature, Medieval & Renaissance, Modernities and Film Studies.

    I've just graduated with my MA in English last month. I got a 1H in my primary degree but I know some MA students were accepted with a 2.1 degree (mid-high 2.1 as far as I know). They will of course take your overall undergraduate results into consideration, so you must do well in your non-English modules also.

    Competition was quite high when I was applying in 2009, there are roughly about 10 places in each MA English class.

    Best of luck with it! Any other questions, just ask! :)

    It's the Irish Writing one that I'm interested in! Went and talked to Eibhear Walshe about it. He's really helpful in fairness, but i wanted to get an idea from a student rather than a lecturer. The info you gave was perfect anyway ;) thanks a lot....much appreciated:cool:
