MA/PGDip Children’s Literature:
This popular programme in children's literature not only involves the study of children's books, in all forms, but also their influence within our culture. We are internationally acclaimed for our work in children's literature, and this programme allows you to combine an overview with the opportunity to specialise in a field where original research is flourishing.
Roehampton houses the National Centre for Research in Children's Literature, which regularly hosts major conferences in the field as well as conducting and facilitating research projects and initiating publications. The centre helped establish and administer the Marsh award for children's literature in translation and was actively involved in creating the post of children's laureate.

The History of Children’s Book Illustration
Children’s Literature in Translation
Origins and Development of Children’s Literature
