Literature & Publishing

Founded in 1995, the MA in Literature and Publishing remains Ireland’s only postgraduate programme dedicated to literature and publishing. This distinctive offering allows students to deepen their existing knowledge of literature while also developing new skills in areas such as marketing, promotions, editorial and production work, and the business aspects of contemporary publishing.

Minimum entry requirements for this programme include an NQAI Level 8 qualification with an overall degree result of H2.2 and with a H2.1 in one subject (or a BA with a 3.0 GPA or equivalent). Please note that admission to this programme is highly selective and meeting minimum achievement thresholds does not guarantee entry. Candidates who do not meet the minimum entry criteria are encouraged to contact the programme director to discuss eligibility under the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process. Such candidates may be interviewed to ascertain their suitability for the programme.
