The MA in African Studies (Literature Pathway) enables students to engage critically with varied aspects of oral and written literatures in Africa. The programme is unique in the way it encourages exploration of relationships between indigenous African aesthetics and contemporary literary theories. The course 'Theories and Techniques of Comparative Literature' provides theoretical and methodological skills while the programme's other units focus on specific areas such as literatures in African languages and contemporary African literature in English.
