BA World and Comparative Literatures and Cultures is a unique degree which gives you the opportunity to develop global cultural awareness by discovering a world of literature, as well as the chance to explore art, film and philosophy. Everything is accessible in English, and an exciting, diverse range of modules enables you to explore different places, periods, genres and media whilst developing sophisticated critical, analytical and communication skills. Studying World and Comparative Literatures and Cultures will broaden your horizons and passions, and give you a critical edge as you range from the local to the global, from literature to visual arts. In your journeys of discovery, you’ll compare how literature and culture can reflect and influence the different political, social and economic contexts in which they are created. At the same time, you’ll explore the production, transmission and translation of texts and ideas, examining how they can operate as mechanisms of power and influence and inform understandings of cultural difference and identity. This degree is designed to be at once interdisciplinary and flexible, so alongside core courses which help you become a persuasive and inclusive thinker and communicator, you’ll be able to shape your studies according to your own evolving interests. You will be taught by world-class experts who genuinely want to get to know you. We create a supportive environment, often using group work so you can try out new ideas and participate in lively discussions. Throughout your studies, you will receive personal guidance to ensure your course is aligned with your strengths, interests and career plans. As part of our close-knit international community, you will be able to get involved with an array of cultural initiatives that take place on campus and make the most of being within easy reach of London and its many events and attractions. Our flexible degree programmes enable you to apply to take a Placement Year, which can be spent studying abroad, working or carrying out voluntary work. You can even do all three if you want to (minimum of three months each)!

The tuition fee for UK undergraduates is controlled by Government regulations, and for those starting a degree in the academic year 2021/22, is £9,250 for that year. The fee for UK undergraduates starting in 2022/23 has not yet been confirmed. The UK Government has confirmed that EU nationals are no longer eligible to pay the same fees as UK students, nor be eligible for funding from the Student Loans Company (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/student-loans-company). This means you will be classified as an international student. At Royal Holloway, we wish to support those students affected by this change in status through this transition. For eligible EU students starting their course with us in September 2022, we will award a fee reduction scholarship equivalent to 60% of the difference between the UK and international fee for your course. This will apply for the duration of your course. Fees for international students may increase year-on-year in line with the rate of inflation. The policy at Royal Holloway is that any increases in fees will not exceed 5% for continuing students. For further information see fees and funding (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/studying-here/fees-and-funding/) and our terms and conditions (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/studying-here/applying/admissions-policy-and-procedures/).
