Comparative Literature/Russian - MA (Hons)

University of Glasgow

Comparative literature is the study of literature across cultural and national frontiers, time periods, languages and genres, even across the boundaries between literature and the other arts. A degree in Russian will allow you to study a language of strategic international significance, as well as giving you access to the richness of Russian culture.

You can study Comparative Literature alongside a whole range of other subjects and you may want to consider studying it with a foreign language to further expand your horizons. Glasgow has a long history of teaching Russian and Slavonic languages and we offer excellent materials in our dedicated library collections.

Our graduates have gone on to pursue rewarding careers in the media, teaching, journalism, tourism, translating and interpreting, and the Civil Service, as well as business, commerce and marketing. Graduates in modern languages and cultures pursue rewarding careers in the media, teaching, journalism, tourism, translating and interpreting, and the Civil Service. Russian is one of six languages in use by the United Nations.
