Master of Arts in English and Film Studies ( Professional Skills Option)

Program Overview

Laurier’s Master of Arts (MA) in English and Film Studies offers courses and faculty expertise in literature and global cultures, film and media studies, and professional skills. You'll develop your understanding of the discipline, and improve your critical thinking and communication skills through analysis and research.


Program Highlights

  • Our students speak highly of faculty engagement, the tight-knit student community, and our caring teacher/student environment.
  • Students gain invaluable teaching experience as tutorial leaders in our first-year courses.
  • Students can curate the MA to match their interests and career goals (coursework only, research option or professional skills option).


The department offers graduate courses in both English Literature and Film Studies. Each student has the flexibility to choose an area of concentration: either a single focus on English literature or film, or a combined focus on English Literature and Film Studies. Students undertaking the Major Research Paper option also have the opportunity to customize their degree work according to their area of interest under the close supervision of one of our dedicated faculty members. Students undertaking the Professional Skills Option have the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge acquired during coursework in professional working environments engaged with literature or film.


Professional Skills Option
Our Professional Skills Option is designed to provide master’s students with a unique opportunity for supervised practical application of studies in English and Film.

In addition to providing direct experience and an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge acquired through course work in literary and filmic studies, practicum placements bring candidates face to face with concrete situations and professional working environments. This work-integrated learning course is designed to improve students’ employment prospects and labour market outcomes.

  • This option is offered in the spring term (May to June) and cannot be taken with the Major Research Paper option.
  • Recent placements include our university's Communications and Public Affairs office, Library Archives, Grand River Jazz Society, and the New Quarterly Journal.
