| Programme description |
| You divide your time equally between the two subjects. Comparative literature makes connections – between literary texts of different times, places and traditions and between literature and film, music, the visual arts and popular culture. Linguistics complements the study of literature, allowing you to gain an understanding of how language works and how we communicate with each other. Your first year includes introductions to the study of literature and linguistics alongside modules focusing on particular aspects of both subjects. Advanced options in second and final years permit you to concentrate on the areas of literature and linguistics that interest you the most while the joint research project enables you to bring the two subjects together. |
