English Literatures and Cultures

This program delves into the rich tradition of English literature in Great Britain, as well as the newer literatures that have emerged in English across the globe. Of particular interest is the role literature has played across a range of cultural contexts throughout history, both in terms of its functions and achievements. Literature is viewed as an integral part of the culture of the modern era, encompassing cultural developments from the Middle Ages to the postmodern times.

More recent developments in the field, built on the concept of literary studies as a form of media and cultural studies, form the basis for exploring the relationship between literary texts and other types of text and media, thus creating a productive link between literary and cultural studies. The ability to critically analyze and reflect on texts of any kind constitutes the core principle underlying teaching and learning in this area.

A Master‘s degree in English Literatures and Cultures will prepare students for jobs predominantly in academia, journalism and publishing, public relations, adult education, intercultural communication, consulting, international organizations, new media, public administration and in similar career fields where a strong background in communicative and intercultural skills, in addition to excellent foreign language skills, plays a crucial role.
