The MA in Languages, Literature, and Cultures at Durham University is an exciting, unique, and dynamic course that invites you to engage critically with literature emerging from diverse literary and cultural contexts from around the world. The course has a broad global reach and draws together a wealth of expertise in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Italian, Hispanic, and Russian Studies. This inclusive approach to languages, literature and cultures presents a distinct opportunity for students who wish to pursue a degree in world literature and comparative studies with a firm emphasis on working on materials in their original language(s), with due attention to the local, national and regional contexts in which they originate. Whether working with text in one, or several non-English languages, the course invites students to think within an international context, to cross borders, disciplines, and canons, to reflect on questions of cultural transmission and exchange in literature, as well as to explore literary interactions with wider intellectual and cultural phenomena, such as translation, philosophy and visual culture.
You will be expected to have a BA degree (upper-second class degree or equivalent) in a relevant subject, such as language (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Russian), literature, or linguistics from a recognized national or international university.
