World Literature

The Master of Arts in World Literature at the University of Warwick is a one-year, full-time program that explores literature from a global perspective, examining texts from different cultures and literary traditions. The program focuses on the comparative study of world literature, analyzing the ways in which literary works engage with themes such as identity, power, globalization, and cultural exchange. Students will read works from a diverse range of authors, exploring both the historical context and contemporary relevance of these texts.

Graduates will gain critical insights into global literary movements and will be equipped to pursue careers in academia, publishing, translation, and cultural institutions. The program’s interdisciplinary approach to world literature provides students with the tools to critically engage with literature and its role in shaping and reflecting global cultures and societies.
