This dynamic programme examines world literature from diverse geographical and cultural perspectives and equips students for a career in today's global society. Alongside cultural topics you will study up to two foreign languages (one per year), selected from an exceptional range of modern and ancient languages including Japanese, Arabic and Mandarin Chinese as well as European languages.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

In years one and two you will take modules in literary theory and cultural history, genres and forms. A wide range of optional language and literary modules are offered by SELCS.

You will select up to two foreign languages choosing from those available with SELCS, SSEES or CLIE, Greek, Latin or Hebrew, all either at beginner's or at a more advanced level.

Learning is research based and you will engage in independent critical inquiry across languages and cultures. You will also gain expertise in advanced textual analysis, creative critical writing and the use of new media.

You will advance your knowledge and skills, have insight into the global range of literature and culture, study with world-class experts and gain a solid foundation for a career in a connected and multilingual society.
