The MA Literary Studies at Leiden University offers you a specialised qualification in one of four languages and cultures or a comparative perspective on literature and culture, with each programme offering considerable scope for individual customisation.
As a student of Literary Studies, you will have access to the vast amount of knowledge that is present at the renowned Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society (LUCAS). Every class you attend is taught by scholars of international standing who are true experts in their fields. An important objective is to teach you the value of questioning: you will acquire a broad, investigative and critical approach to problem solving that can be applied to any challenge in any role.
A unique selling point of the programme is the freedom to tailor your degree to suit your ambitions and interests. Your curriculum could include a single or combined major and electives from other specialisations – even other programmes. You are also free to go abroad for a specific university course or do an internship to deepen or widen your focus.
