Everything about The Master Of Letters totally explained
The
Master of Letters (MLitt from the
Latin magister litterarum) is a
postgraduate Master's degree.
United Kingdom
The
MLitt (T) is a one-year full-time taught degree at the
ancient universities of Scotland. Usually, the degree involves nine months of postgraduate-level courses, followed by a short research dissertation written during the summer months. Often the MLitt is awarded here because for the ancient universities the first degree in the
Arts and Humanities is an
undergraduate MA (Hons), and contrasts with the
MPhil degree, a more advanced one-year research Masters.
The older MLitt, now often called the
MLitt (R) to differentiate the two, is a research degree lasting two years in many UK universities, including the ancient Scottish Universities who also grant MLitts (T). Students rarely apply for an MLitt in the first instance, but for those who have completed two years of a
PhD and don't wish to or can't continue with the final year(s), they've the option to write up their completed research so far and graduate with an MLitt (R).
In all cases, the MLitt is usually awarded in
Arts,
Divinity,
Fine Art,
Humanities, or
Social Sciences.
