This research degree is offered by the Centre for Multidisciplinary and Intercultural Inquiry (CMII) within the School of European Languages, Culture and Society (SELCS). The Comparative Literature research degree draws on the collective expertise of specialists in the Faculties of Arts and Humanities and Social and Historical Sciences and the Institute of Education.
Research students can specialise in any aspect of comparative literature for which suitable supervision is available. Potential supervisors’ disciplinary perspectives are drawn from language departments including the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, the Departments of Greek and Latin, Anthropology and Geography, as well as literary studies and queer studies and others across UCL.
Training courses are designed on an individual basis by the student’s supervisor and generally involve participation in activities offered by the department of the primary supervisor. You will also participate in a mandatory skills seminar programme in CMII. Regular research seminars are run by individual PhD courses and research centres, such as gender and sexuality studies, Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American studies, health humanities, French and Francophone studies, translation studies, film studies, and comparative literature. All students are welcome to attend relevant sessions, offering opportunities for cross-fertilisation of ideas.
