The double degree Master's in Literature
The Master's in Literature in Bielefeld combines general and comparative literary studies. It focusses on literary theory, hermeneutics, aesthetics and poetics as well as intercultural and intermedial aspects of literature. In cooperation with the Sapienza, students will have the opportunity to study in an intercultural field with versatile perspectives on the field of studying literature and literature itself.
What is a double degree?
To enrol in a double degree means to acquire a degree at two universities with only one major. Bielefeld University and La Sapienza University have merged their two majors, Literaturwissenschaft and Scienze linguistiche, letterarie e della traduzione, respectively, so that students have the chance to acquire conclusive, functional as well as scientific knowledge, methods and expertise in the field of literary studies.
