Program details

Overview

This two-year Master in Letters focuses on literature written in French and comparative literature from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. It looks at how these works relate to foreign literatures, artistic change, linguistic evolution and political and social contexts. Particular attention goes to intermediality, meaning the links between literature, image, cinema, music and digital media, and to cultural and intercultural studies. The track runs in partnership with Sorbonne Nouvelle, which requires a secondary enrolment at that university. The research methodology helps students build a personal project, and the page links the track to francophone studies and popular literature.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Licence in Modern Letters or a Licence with a substantial literature component. Other human and social science degrees are assessed case by case. Apply for M1 via Mon Master.
