What to buy

All the specialist equipment you will need for MCC will be provided. We do however recommend that you purchase a good memory stick.

If you are thinking of purchasing a computer for University some MCC students purchase Apple Macs. If you are thinking of doing this wait until you have a student card - you can order equipment direct from Apple Education UK and get a substantial student discount. It is not imperative that you have an Apple Mac.

We also recommend that if you are taking the module Understanding Culture in the spring semester you buy copies of (and start to read) the literary texts covered. These are:

Charles Dickens, Great Expectations, edited by Margaret Cardwell and Robert Douglas-Fairhurst (Oxford: Oxford World Classics, 2008)

William Shakespeare, Othello (Arden Shakespeare edition) edited by E.A.J. Honigmann (London: Thomson, 1996)

Hanif Kureishi, The Buddha of Suburbia  (London: Faber and Faber, 1991)

Literary Theory: An Anthology ed. Julie Rivkin and Michael Ryan, Second Edition (Oxford: Blackwell, 2004)
