Master of Arts in Modern Languages and Comparative Literatures
Program Overview
This modern languages and comparative literatures course offers you the chance to explore the cultures of French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Spanish and Latin American language-speaking areas. At the same time, it gives you a thorough grounding in comparative literary and cultural studies in the context of modern languages. You can take a broadly comparative pathway through the degree or choose to engage with one or more specific language-speaking areas.
This course brings together a team of renowned academic experts in a variety of different areas: cultural studies, visual studies, linguistics, comparative literature and cultures, history and thought, from the Enlightenment to the twenty-first century. We have designed it to be responsive and adaptable to the needs of our students and will help you steer a pathway through the course that reflects your specific interests, career and personal ambitions, and language knowledge.
You will be able to choose whether you study texts in the original language or in English translation. You may also choose language learning at our advanced levels which incorporate workshops on advanced academic writing and allow you to enhance and perfect your language skills in conjunction with multiple forms of cultural analysis.
If you opt for a language-specific focus working in the original languages, your degree title will reflect the language/s you have chosen. For example, if you decide to focus on one language-speaking area such as French-speaking, you will be awarded an MA French Studies. If you focus on two language-speaking areas such as German and Japanese, you will be awarded an MA German and Japanese Studies.
