Literary Studies

The Research Master's in Literary Studies at Leiden University distinguishes itself from other MA programmes in the Netherlands by its intense collaboration with the MA programmes in Media Studies and the Research Master's in Arts and Culture this joint programme gives you the opportunity to acquire a valuable range of knowledge and skills, both disciplinary and interdisciplinary, historical and theoretical. The research master's offers a flexible programme that encourages you to adopt an interdisciplinary perspective, but also gives you considerable freedom to follow disciplinary courses within your 'home discipline'. You can focus on Arts and Culture, Media Studies or Literary Studies, and can opt for an interdisciplinary focus applied to a single period (Middle Ages/Early Modern resp. Modern and Contemporary), or an approach that concentrates on a single discipline. All students follow compulsory joint theoretical and methodological courses which prepares them for an academic career, to apply for a PhD position, or to work in a cultural institution or department.
