The MA in French and Comparative Literature course from the University of KentÊintroduces you to a wide range of theoretical perspectives, enriching your appreciation of the cultures, texts and critical practices examined in the programmeÕs various modules.

Kent provides an ideal location in which to study French culture; our Canterbury campus is close to mainland Europe, with Paris only a couple of hours away by Eurostar.

In the Autumn and Spring terms, you take a choice of four modules, before undertaking a 12,000 word dissertation over the summer with supervision from an expert within the department.ÊThere is also a version of this programme which allows you toÊspend the springÊterm in Paris.
