MRes in Comparative Literature in Glasgow United Kingdom | University of Glasgow

Comparative Literature is a dynamic interdisciplinary field that bridges cultures and media, based in our School of Modern Languages and Cultures with specialists in ten modern languages.
The School of Modern Languages and Cultures (SMLC) excels in European languages and literatures from both Eastern and Western regions. Consequently, our Comparative Literature Program could aptly be described as: European and European-Inspired. Significant opportunities remain for East-West scholarly exchange post-Cold War, and our Slavic studies position us uniquely to facilitate research and education in this intersection. Our scope extends to the Americas, with faculty expertise in Québécois, Mexican, Brazilian, and North American English literature.
Comparative Literature maintains strong partnerships with Translation Studies, English and Scottish Literature, Classics, History, Art History, Philosophy, Gender Studies, Central/East European Studies, Economic/Social History, Medieval/Renaissance Studies, Medical Humanities, and Digital Humanities. We also participate in broader initiatives like the Human Rights Network, GRAMnet (Glasgow Refugee, Asylum and Migration network), and host the Stirling Maxwell Centre for Text/Image Studies. This diverse network enables us to support varied research trajectories for students with different backgrounds. Our linguistic strengths encompass Eastern, Central, and Western European languages, Latin American languages, and Mandarin. Collaborations with other Schools provide additional resources in classical, medieval, and other modern languages.
