Program Overview

Program Description:

The MA in Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies provides an opportunity to engage in the comparative study of a range of world literatures and cultural practices in a combination that is currently unique in Ireland. It aims to foster and develop critical inquiry into the function and social resonance of literature, art and culture (including popular culture). The programme also prepares students for doctoral research and is designed for both languages graduates and graduates in subjects such as English, who are seeking to develop a comparative dimension to their further studies.
