Through its theoretical approach the programme is also closely related to the two-year Research MA in Arts, Literature and Media; consequently, many of our courses are crosslisted. An important difference with this ResMA programme is that the scope of our one-year curriculum generally does not allow for an integrated internship or semester abroad. These options are, however, open to those able and willing to extend their studies with us for a third semester.
The four main themes of this programme are:
- Cultural Theory, with a special focus on literary theory
- Comparative Literature
- Interculturality (cross-cultural approach)
- Intermediality (cross-mediatic approach)
