About the Program

The MA in Anglophone Literatures and Media (ALM) is a two-year degree programme offering students the opportunity to study a combination of print literature and other media formats from the English-speaking world. Alongside traditional literary formats (narrative fiction, drama, poetry), students take courses including cinematic, television and new media texts as well as adaptation studies. In their third semester, ALM students also take one linguistics seminar with a focus on language and media or on contemporary global varieties of English. The focus of ALM is transcultural and transnational. Students study a variety of global English literatures and media covering British, North American, postcolonial and diaspora literatures and media in English. ALM students have a range of set and compulsory elective options: set modules cover diachronic and synchronic perspectives of the anglophone world, while compulsory elective modules allow for research-focussed or professional specialisations, and for internationalisation. Through the university's free elective courses, students can find original and creative combinations with ALM's core curriculum.
