INTRODUCTION
MELART has been created to respond to a series of needs and knowledge spaces that contribute to the training of graduates in English Studies or people with similar profiles. The main objective is to review and further explore aspects that establish connections between linguistic, literary, artistic and cultural expressions in English, thereby contributing to the education not only of people interested in receiving training in the area, but also of practising teachers and professionals who will update their knowledge and have access to materials that they will be able to implement in their professional field.

AIMS
METHODOLOGY
The master’s degree course, which is delivered in a blended (hybrid) learning format, will be structured on the basis of theoretical-practical sessions that will combine the introduction of key concepts and the analysis of texts by the teachers, who will act as learning facilitators, and seminars in which the active participation of the students through debates will be fundamental for the construction of knowledge. Thus, a schedule of face-to-face sessions will be planned, ensuring there is sufficient time between them to allow students to carry out a detailed reading and analysis of the texts or materials that make up the syllabus.
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
In general terms, assessment will take into account attendance and active participation in the sessions and will be carried out through oral presentations, written academic assignments, or other tools the teacher deems appropriate and will communicate to the students through the established channels.
Given that a C1 level in English is a minimum requirement for admission and entry to this master’s degree course, the level of language used in the oral presentation and in the written assignments will obviously have an impact on the final mark. In fact, if the English used in the oral presentation and written assignments contains phonetic, syntactic, grammatical or spelling mistakes that actually affect and hinder the understanding of the intended message, the student will fail the module.
COURSE CONTENTS
The different subjects covered in the modules are distributed over the two semesters, with the weight of these subjects being somewhat greater in the first semester, in order to facilitate the completion of the Master's Thesis, which usually requires more dedication in the middle and final stages.
Each module will introduce concepts that relate English language and literature to English culture and its expression through art.
The master’s degree course is made up of the following modules:
SCHEDULE
The blended learning sessions of the master's degree will take place from October 3, 2023 to March 8, 2024, and will be held on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings.

The workload of university master’s degrees is between 60 and 120 European credits (one or two academic years) and must have official accreditation from the Spanish Ministry of Education. They are recognised throughout the European Union without any further formalities, so they allow for mobility between countries
