Overview
The English (Modern and Contemporary Literature and Criticism) course at the University of Malta explores modernist poetry, the literature of symbolism and decadence, philosophy and literature, semiotics, literary theory, and gender among other fields.
If you’re interested in literature and criticism, this programme is the entry point to a multi-faceted comprehension of this rich academic field. Following this course, you will be eligible to participate in an international symposium, and learn to write research papers eligible for publication in peer-reviewed journals, including the department’s Countertext.
Career opportunities
If you are interested in being employed both locally and abroad in teaching, journalism, publishing, and consultancy, then this course is intended for you. Just as a significant number of alumni have done so, your refined knowledge on how literature and criticism has developed from modernism to our contemporary living will be preparatory if you intend on undergoing a doctoral study.
