Romance Literatures

Master of Arts (M.A.)

About the Program

The consecutive, research-oriented Master's degree course expands the specialist knowledge of literary studies acquired in a Bachelor's degree course or an equivalent first professionally qualifying university degree in a literary or cultural studies subject relevant to the Master's degree course. In the field of literary studies, the course offers an in-depth education oriented towards current research questions, which is based on a cross-linguistic, overall Romance perspective. The focus is on the development and differentiation of subject-specific theoretical and methodological skills, the teaching of in-depth knowledge of central epochs in the history of Romance literatures and the introduction to the practice of research. The Master's degree course deals with literary and cultural phenomena from both a European and a global perspective and trains students to deal sensitively with historical experiences of difference, which are analyzed and interpreted using a comparative approach.
