Study via distance learning
Our MA Shakespeare distance learning students receive just as much support as students studying at The Shakespeare Institute. As a distance learner, you'll connect with your peers and academic staff through our Virtual Learning Environment. There's also hybrid extracurricular activities on offer, including the Shakespeare Institute's Thursday Seminar series.
