The MA in Comparative Literature is aimed at graduates in modern languages who are seeking to consolidate their knowledge in a wider context, graduates in English and/or American Literature wishing to diversify their interests, and graduates in a range of other Humanities subjects (including History, Philosophy, and Theology) who would like to bring their preoccupations to bear on literary material. Non-linguists are able to study exclusively through the medium of English while modern linguists (in French, German, Italian, and Spanish) have the opportunity to read extensively in their specialist language or languages.
The MA programme is designed to offer students the opportunity to study a range of major writers and key themes in European and American literature from the eighteenth century to the present day. Students take four 30-credit taught modules during the Autumn and Spring terms, and write one 12,000-word dissertation (60 credits) over the summer.
