You’ll be taught by multilingual experts who specialise in the literatures of Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean and South Asia.  

You’ll also examine links between literature and other art forms, including music, film, popular culture and visual arts. The analytical ability and sophisticated reading and writing skills you will acquire in the degree will make you highly competitive on the job market, especially with employers who value clear communication, critical thinking and cultural awareness.
