• You have the opportunity to acquire and develop analytical and critical skills that will make you highly employable in the UK and abroad.
• Choose from a wide range of modules on topics including Slavery and Atlantic Literature; Great European Myths; and Crime Fiction.
• Our programmes are taught by experts from the School of Modern Languages – French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish – alongside members of the School of English. Both Schools have been rated as amongst the best in the UK for their teaching and research.
• Our Institute of Contemporary and Comparative Literature offers a varied programme of lectures and seminars involving international speakers, academics and creative writers from around the world.
The School of Modern Languages combines expertise in research with dedication to teaching in a caring and friendly environment. Studying Comparative Literature develops techniques that enable you to read with close attention and to consider the ideas, human values, and historical forces that have helped to form the world’s literatures. The opportunity to read, to discuss, and to reflect with clarity on a wide variety of texts develops analytical, descriptive, and evaluative skills. You learn to communicate more fluently, lucidly, economically, and persuasively. As a graduate, your intercultural awareness and capacity to process and assimilate complex material from a range of cultures will make you highly employable.

You can combine Comparative Literature at St Andrews with English, Philosophy, Social Anthropology or International Relations, to name but a few. If you wish, you can also study Comparative Literature alongside a language from within the School of Modern Languages. You could decide to study a language you have already started at school or learn something completely new (Arabic, German, Italian, Russian or Spanish).
In your first and second years the modules in Comparative Literature will take up one third of your time. Years 1 and 2 raise awareness of different genres and themes as they appear in a range of literatures (French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, UK, USA, Latin American) and address the issue of how to study literature comparatively. If you decide to take a Joint Honours degree with a language (e.g. Comparative Literature and Russian) you have the option of spending time abroad in your third or fourth year. At Honours level (in your third and fourth years) you will take several core courses and make choices from the wide range of modules taught by specialists in the School. In all four years you will be assessed partly on your coursework, submitted during the semester, and partly on your performance in examinations at the end of the semester.
