Theory of Literature and Comparative Literature

This master's degree is particularly designed for holders of bachelor's degrees in Literary Studies, Philology, Humanities, History, Philosophy, Modern Languages and Literatures, or holders of a pre-EHEA degree in Theory of Literature and Comparative Literature. However, in general terms, it could be of interest to any graduate in the area of the humanities and social sciences, or graduates in other areas who wish to give a literary, critical, comparative orientation to their training.

In accordance with Article 16 of Royal Decree 1393/29 October 2007, students must hold one of the following qualifications to access university master's degree courses:

• An official Spanish degree.
  
• A degree issued by a higher education institution within the European Higher Education Area framework that authorizes the holder to access university master's degree courses in the country of issue.
  
• A qualification from outside the framework of the European Higher Education Area. In this case, the qualification should be recognized as equivalent to an official Spanish degree. If it is not recognized, the University of Barcelona shall verify that it corresponds to a level of education that is equivalent to official Spanish degrees and that it authorizes the holder to access university master's degree courses in the country of issue. Admission shall not, in any case, imply that prior qualifications have been recognized as equivalent to a Spanish master's degree and does not confer recognition for any purposes other than that of admission to the master's degree course.

Most of the master's degree students will hold a bachelor's degree in Literary Studies or a pre-EHEA degree in Theory of Literature and Comparative Literature.
However, the recommended applicant profile is broader, as the master's degree is aimed at all bachelor's degree or pre-EHEA degree holders in the humanities, particularly those trained in the specific field of literature, but also those interested in aspects of philosophy, history and history of art.
