Course content

The MA is a distinctive course that offers you a thorough knowledge in the field of literary and cultural studies with an extensive theoretical foundation to engage critically with various literatures.

It offers you an opportunity to study cultural texts in their original language and encourages you to pay attention to the local, national and regional contexts within which they originate. Whether you work with texts in one or several non-English languages, we will also invite you to think within an international context and to cross borders, disciplines and canons.

You will be able to work with specialists in your area(s) of expertise and to choose from a wide range of innovative modules.

This course will provide a solid foundation that prepares students to proceed to a PhD, as well as training students for employment in the culture sector.
