Course content

The MLitt Global Languages, Literatures and Cultures will deepen your literary and cultural knowledge while fostering intercultural competence and transferable skills for life in an increasingly globalised world.

The School is distinguished by the breadth of its research which spans language, literary, and cultural studies across eight distinct language areas – Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Persian, Russian, and Spanish – but also a range of cultural-historical epochs from the middle ages to the present day. This breadth is reflected in the literary and cultural topics you will study on the degree.

• Expand your interest in literary and cultural studies through transnational teaching from experts across the School of Modern Languages.
• Deepen your knowledge in your chosen language area or areas by exploration through new perspectives and methodologies.
• A global outlook provided by 50 full-time academic staff teaching in eight languages and providing a broad range of disciplinary knowledge, teaching, and supervision expertise.
• Engage with cutting-edge research through involvement in the work of the School's research centres and interdisciplinary research groups.
• Explore cross-disciplinary studies via an option module in the Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Studies as part of your degree.
