Course summary

Our BA in Comparative Literature allows you to delve into a range of literatures from different time periods, genres and languages. You’ll examine links between literature and other art forms, including music, film, popular culture and visual arts. In the first year you’ll be given a solid grounding in the discipline of literary studies. Throughout the course, you can tailor your studies to concentrate on the areas of literature that interest you the most, with options from modern fairy tales to European literature to modernist literature in India and China. You can also study a host of themes ranging from madness to migration. There are some creative options, such as editing your own anthology. Comparative Literature graduates have skills such as analytical and critical thinking, and the ability to produce high-quality written work. They also approach the world with a broad cultural understanding. Coupled with multiple opportunities for extra-curricular activities and work experience, they are well prepared for the world of work. Some apply their degree knowledge directly, entering careers such as education and the arts, whilst others have transferred their skills into areas such as public relations.
