Comparative Literature / English Language & Linguistics, MA (Hons)

Comparative Literature examines literary works across cultural, national, and temporal boundaries, as well as languages, genres, and intersections with other arts. This discipline can be studied alongside various subjects, and combining it with a foreign language may enhance one's global perspectives.English Language and Linguistics investigates the structure and semantics of the English language from historical and contemporary viewpoints, offering insights into culture, society, and human identity. Over the past five decades, we have developed the world-leading Historical Thesaurus of English, a distinctive resource for tracking the evolution of its vast vocabulary. Students also gain access to specialized laboratories for analyzing spoken and written language.
