About this master

Why choose this program?

The master's degree in Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Thought has a multidisciplinary orientation that emphasises the relationships between the arts and between different cultural discourses, both from a contemporary and historical perspective. It welcomes students who seek cross-disciplinary training and often have interests and goals that do not fit into traditional divisions of knowledge or specialised postgraduate programmes. It allows the course of studies to be adapted to each individual profile thanks to the wide range of electives and the flexibility in defining the Final Master's Project. Some students want to delve deeper into the field in which they studied the degree, combining it with contributions from other disciplines, and others want to explore a different field from their previous studies.


The programme provides tools for reflection, analysis and interpretation typical of advanced training in humanistic disciplines, focused on understanding the complexity of the cultural phenomena of our time. It offers the option of approaching the master's degree as an initiation to research leading to a doctorate or as final studies that provide a wide range of theoretical and practical knowledge that, in addition to complementing the academic preparation, suggest possible professional applications in the world of cultural management and production.
 

Who is it for?

Candidates should be intellectually curious, academically rigorous and able to establish relationships between various fields of knowledge. From an intellectually open-minded vantage point, they must be willing and eager to apply their independent learning skills and educational backgrounds to any of the fields covered by the programme with a view to studying in depth the interrelationships and processes responsible for the fertile complexity of contemporary culture.
