Course summary
Study literature from across the world and explore cultures and societies in and beyond the English-speaking world. Gain a global outlook while learning from experts in languages, literatures and cultures.The Comparative Literature & Culture programme presents an exciting opportunity to explore literature and culture across Europe, Latin America, the English-speaking world and beyond. Our broad curriculum allows the choice and flexibility to discover and pursue your areas of interest as you engage with literature, culture, and society across various contexts.The comparative approach allows you to study literature and culture across traditional disciplinary boundaries, drawing on methodologies based in disciplines across the humanities and social sciences, including social and cultural studies, textual and translation studies, studies of film, visual and material culture, anthropology, history, gender studies and environmental humanities, amongst others. You will learn from experts in literature, culture, politics, and society of regions worldwide to appreciate different perspectives in-depth. You will also expand your understanding of local and global relationships, enabling you to apply linguistic and cultural awareness when working with others.You may also consider pursuing language study beyond the first two years with a Major-Minor named language minor in Gaelic alongside Comparative Literature & Culture while making connections with the contexts of the Gaelic-speaking world. You can also study more than one language and select courses in translation and interpreting to strengthen your intercultural communication skills.
