This master's degree combines specialisations in comparative literature and in translation in order to give a more complete approach to literature. Students with a degree in Humanities and in the different philologies can benefit from reflecting on language and literature as provided by the study of translations; in turn, students with a degree in Translation and Interpretation with a preference for literary translation from the academic or research points of view can strengthen their knowledge of the theory and the history by studying the different branches of comparative literature.
Objectives
To train students in literary studies from a multicultural and multilingual perspective of comparative literature and literary translation, based on their previous training in bachelor's degrees in the Humanities, Translation and Interpretation and the different philologies.
