Overview
The Anglophone Modernities in Literature and Culture MA course at the University of Potsdam focuses on literary and cultural phenomena encompassed by the concept of "modernity" - a term that comprises both an historical epoch and a specific social experience.
Key features
Using a combined literary and cultural studies approach, you will be studying a variety of methodologies and their explanatory power as well as their applicability to modern issues and questions.
In order to reflect on the differences between various academic cultures, you will also spend one semester at one of the partner universities of the University of Potsdam or at another university of your choice, and you will prepare a detailed report on your experience abroad. In exceptional cases you can substitute your semester abroad with serving as a mentor for international students at the University of Potsdam and by writing a detailed journal about your experiences during that time.
