Global Literature and Culture MA

The Master of Arts in Global Literature and Culture program at the University of York is an innovative program that provides students with a comprehensive understanding of literature, culture, and language from around the world. This 2-year program features a unique curriculum that combines traditional academic courses with hands-on learning experiences such as field trips, international exchanges, and foreign language courses. Students will gain a deeper knowledge of global literary studies and cultural studies while developing their critical thinking, research, and writing skills. The program also offers the opportunity for students to specialize in a particular region or cultural context through electives such as African literature and film; Latin American literature; Middle Eastern literature; Asian philosophy and religion; or European history. Graduates from this program are well-positioned for careers in academia, research institutions, publishing houses or NGOs, allowing them to make meaningful contributions towards understanding different cultures while engaging in meaningful conversations across borders.
