Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Law and Criminology] From University of Kent

TheÊComparative LiteratureÊprogramme offered by University of KentÊinvolves the study of literature from two or more national and linguistic traditions, allowing you to gain an intercultural and transnational understanding of diverse cultural and literary practices.

The MA programme explores three main areas: themes, genres, movements and major literary figures; the interactions and exchanges between national literary traditions; and the theory and practice of comparative literature.Ê

These complementary strands encourage comparative analysis in a variety of contexts, ranging from the study of national literatures to the exploration of different genres, periods, media and literary theory.

The programme is offered by theÊDepartment of Comparative LiteratureÊand benefits from staff expertise in a range of areas, including European modernism, postmodernism, postcolonial literature, literature and medicine, literature and sexuality, literature and psychoanalysis and literature and the visual arts.Ê

Our programme also draws on additional expertise in theÊSchool of European Culture and Languages, particularly from colleagues in the departments ofÊFrench,ÊGerman,ÊHispanic StudiesÊandÊItalian.

A postgraduate qualification from the University of Kent opens up a wealth of career opportunities by providing an impressive portfolio of skills and specialist knowledge.

Comparative Literature graduates develop key skills, including critical thinking, analysis and problem solving. They go on to successful careers in areas such as the media, academia and many different cultural institutions including libraries, museums and galleries.

We also recommend that you take advantage of the expertise and knowledge available from ourÊCareers and Employability ServiceÊin Canterbury, which provides a range of advice, guidance and opportunities to enhance your career.
