You will gain insight about, and develop methods for, literary analysis that considers the complex relationships between digital, analogue, and physical media. The courses in intermediality and multimodality link the main field of study of comparative literature with film studies, musicology, art and visual studies, media and communication science, English, and modern languages.
The programme provides you with knowledge of relevant, intermedial and multimodal theories and methods, primarily within the fields included in the Intermedial Research Centre (IMS). After the first semester, you can choose courses with an intermedial perspective or choose to build your master with individual courses. During the third semester, you have the opportunity to study abroad at one on Linnaeus University’s partner universities. You can also choose to do an internship, either abroad or in Sweden. If this is not an option for you, you can instead choose to take some of the elective courses offered at Linnaeus University. During the last semester, you write your master’s thesis in the main field of study comparative literature, with an intermedial or multimodal perspective.
Online and on campus
The programme is offered both online and on campus. The teaching and course work is integrated according to the 'Glocal classroom model'. This means that students who participate online and students on campus study together and follow the same timetable. You choose yourself what form you prefer, campus or online. This teaching model gives you access to a dynamic and international learning environment.
