The MA in Magic and Occult Science at University of Exeter is said to be one of the first in the UK.
By: BBC News
Published: Oct 3, 2023
A degree in magic being offered in 2024 will be one of the first in the UK, the University of Exeter has said.
The "innovative" MA in Magic and Occult Science has been created following a "recent surge in interest in magic", the course leader said.
It would offering an opportunity to study the history and impact of witchcraft and magic around the world on society and science, bosses said.
The one-year programme starts in September 2024.
Academics with expertise in history, literature, philosophy, archaeology, sociology, psychology, drama, and religion will show the role of magic on the West and the East.
The university said it was one of the only postgraduate courses of its kind in the UK to combine the study of the history of magic with such a wide range of other subjects.
'Place of magic'
Prof Emily Selove, course leader, said: "A recent surge in interest in magic and the occult inside and outside of academia lies at the heart of the most urgent questions of our society.
"Decolonisation, the exploration of alternative epistemologies, feminism and anti-racism are at the core of this programme."
The course will be offered in the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies.
Prof Selove said: "This MA will allow people to re-examine the assumption that the West is the place of rationalism and science, while the rest of the world is a place of magic and superstition."
The university said the course could prepare students for careers in teaching, counselling, mentoring, heritage and museum work, work in libraries, tourism, arts organisations or the publishing industry, among other areas of work.
A choice of modules includes dragons in western literature and art, the legend of King Arthur, palaeography, Islamic thought, archaeological theory and practice and the depiction of women in the Middle Ages.

I mean, it could have been quite good, the history of magic; the effect on human imagination and storytelling; magic in literature and art; magic as metaphor for what we don't know, a stand-in for science; the evolution of societal perceptions of magic through the growth of the scientific method; the role of magic and revelation in early epistemological (truth claims) processes... this could have been a fascinating course.
Then they had to ruin it by stuffing it full of intersectional Gender Studies horseshit and making it ideologically corrupt and completely academically worthless. Except to piss off daddy, who's paying the bill.
This is the exact kind of luxury course that only bored, privileged, upper-middle class people with no real problems or ambition would take. If you take it, you have nothing better to do, and no ambition to better your future prospects. It's low-effort, academically shallow, fosters undeserved moral elitism, but still takes in tuition fees, so it's unsurprising that it exists.
You'd be getting loan forgiveness for it over my dead body, though.
Exeter Medicine Interview Experience
I had my interview at Exeter on the 22nd of January. While I can't give exact details about the day as the process is meant to be confidential, I wanted to give an overall view of how my day went.
We had decided to go up to Exeter the night before, leaving staight after college college ended on the Tuesday. We stayed at Jurys Inn, Exeter which was only a 10 minute walk from St Lukes Campus. I think despite living relatively close to Exeter, staying overnight helped take away some of the stress. And as a bonus I got extra time in bed!!!
That morning I was so nervous I couldn't eat a thing. It was my first interview and one of my top choice Unis, so I knew there was a lot riding on that day.
The time I was told to come to the campus was 9:30 so we decided to walk up a little earlier to have a look around and see what the campus was like.
I had never visited Exeter Uni as it was a last minute decision to add it to my application. The grounds were really nice and it was nearby the main hospitals as well as the accommodation, so ideal for early morning classes and placements. I really liked the position of the campus, it is close enough to the city centre for anything you need but it feels like a small, safe community on the campus.
In the morning we had a talk by a member of the admissions team and then we were provided with lunch. It was during this time that I really got to know the other applicants. It was lovely to meet people for all over and I found it really calmed my nerves talking to everyone else. Some Uni students caution making friends with the other applicants as they are your competition, but I felt that we were all in the same boat so we might as well support each other. After lunch we all walked to another building to wait for our interview. I had one of the latest interview slots at 4:15pm which worried me slightly. I was scared that sitting in a room waiting for 4 hours would make any anxiety I felt build and build.
Surprisingly the opposite happened. During the hours we were sat waiting we had some really great conversations. We laughed and joked and at times I forgot we were even about to have an interview. All the other applicants were lovely and we all eased each others anxiety.
One of the people who I had spoken to most was in my MMI group and having her there make the process slightly less nerve wracking.
People had always told me that the time went so quick during the interview and I didn't believe them until I experience it myself. I used the 3 minutes provided for all of the questions and I found myself running out of time at points. Thankfully I found myself able to answer all questions and came out of the interview feeling happy.
For me the medicine interview was a far better experience than I could have imagined. All the staff put us at ease and make the process far more comfortable than expected. I walked out of the interview knowing that whatever happened I had had a really great day and it was a valuable experience.
this so-called studyblr is currently just pics of my laptop and various beverages in different places, and if that doesn't accurately sum up uni life i don't know what does
Exeter University HASS residential- to anyone who wants to study at Exeter
I started writing this post whilst I was there, but then I just sort of lost track of what I was doing and now it’s been a week since I went. In general, it seems like a lovely university with good professors, interesting courses, and fantastic facilities. If you’re in year 11 now and are just over-keen (this was me last year and I ended up doing a Literature and History course at Kings College London which was brilliant so it doesn’t hurt to start early) then I definitely recommend looking at completing at least one summer residential. It’s a completely different experience to an open day and you get a true ‘feel’ for the place.
I stayed in St Germans halls and I have very few complaints about this. The bed was just about the comfiest thing I’ve ever slept on and I was very excited by the desk. I’ll admit I was a little confused what angle to have my computer- facing the window? at an angle? facing the shelf?- but it was nice to have the choice! My chair was quite squeaky but that’s pretty fixable and I was just too lazy to actually do anything about it.
I was in the top room, my window’s the one second to the right. The light was a little annoying, but the bed was so comfy I found it easy to get to sleep each night.
I’m guessing this is one of the more expensive accommodations though. I had a double bed and an ensuite. Unfortunately I didn’t get a look at what any of the other accommodations at Exeter were like but I was happy with what I experienced. My only complaint, and it’s not really a proper one, is at how thin the walls are. Everyone could hear if you flushed the toilet or had a shower. But that’s uni for you, so don’t let that dissuade you.
The campus was gorgeous! We had a little time to explore and I stumbled across this beauty! Apologies for my poor photography skills, but I think you can get the gist that there’s lots of trees, lots of flowers, lots of beauty.
Extra info about Exeter that I found interesting:
-If you do a year abroad, you only have to pay 15% of the normal tuition, even if you’re going to somewhere much more expensive like America.
-Modularity- allows you to use around 30 credits each year to try out another subject and I’m pretty sure you can get this officially added as part of your degree if you add enough.
-Flexible combined honours lets you combine subjects that you wouldn’t normally be allowed to do which is pretty lit.
-If you’re interested in languages, Chinese specifically, you can study it at Exeter with no previous experience with the language. This means if you’re taking a year abroad, it has to be to China though to improve your fluency.
-Lots of societies! Whilst there were a lot of sporting ones, there were also a lot of chill ones- doctor who society, Tolkien society, wine society, etc. I think it’s a good fit for most people.
However, just a warning if you’ve never visited Exeter; it’s very hilly! You’d definitely get used to it but the lot of us struggled for the first couple of days and if that’s not your thing, it might not be the university for you. In general though, it looks great for all the humanities and social sciences subjects (which is what the residential was aimed at) and I think it would be a good fit for many people.
04.12.17 // had my Exeter interview today, so I got another chance to look round the lovely city ⛪️ I’m finding it hard to tell how it went, & I have to wait until March to find out (!!) It’s all about the waiting game now… ⏳
i bet nobody's gonna respond to this BUT: if you're at university/ have been to university in the UK and you feel comfortable talking about it, please send me a message telling me about where you study ! I have a long list and what I'm finding really helpful is pros/cons from students/ex students.
