Comparative Literature / Central & East European Studies, MA (Hons)

Comparative Literature involves the interdisciplinary examination of literary works across cultural, national, and linguistic boundaries, as well as through various time periods, genres, and even in relation to other arts. This field can be pursued alongside diverse subjects, and pairing it with a foreign language may enhance one's global perspective.Central and East European Studies explores the profound transformations in the region's countries during the twentieth century, driven by wars, revolutions, and extensive social and economic shifts. The fall of communism and its aftermath have perpetuated many longstanding challenges, from the Baltic to the Balkans and Berlin to Vladivostok. The University serves as a key hub for a government-funded Centre of Excellence in Russian, Central, and East European Studies, which organizes ongoing cultural, social, and academic events.
