Comparative Universal Literature - Modern Language and Literature

The Comparative Universal Literature Bachelor program outlines cultural differences and enables the dialogue between national literatures by its transdisciplinary opening toward anthropology, sociology, history of the ideas, research of the imaginary, cultural studies, digital humanities and medical humanities. The courses vary from Ancient to Modern and contemporary literature to Literary geographies or Postmodern mythologies, offering insights into different national literatures within a universal context.

The specialization can be combined with German as a segment B language. The department for German studies in Cluj-Napoca is internationally recognized, where courses are taught exclusively in German. Many different projects are carried out with students and scientific conferences are organized annually. The department also has its own publication series. Students are offered a number of scholarship opportunities. In addition, the work of the nine local lecturers is supported by guest lecturers from the DAAD and the OeAD.
