Aims

The M.A. programme in Literary and Comparative Studies (MALCS) @ HKBU offers students the opportunity for focused study while at the same time devoting the entire heft of the curriculum to literary studies in a global and comparative context. This global focus offers a discernible and distinctive character to the programme and it resonates with the ethos of Hong Kong Baptist University—an ethos that places learning within an internationalised context and in accordance with the needs of the individual learner.

MALCS offers an academically rigorous programme balancing content and methodologically-based core courses with research-driven elective seminars based on colleagues’ research expertise. It aims to provide students who already hold a Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent qualification(s), with the opportunity to test out their intellectual potential in a well-supported, research-intensive environment, and seeks to equip them with high-level and qualifications necessary for pursuing further advanced research degrees. The emphasis of the programme will be to produce quality graduates with demonstrable English language competencies and highly-regarded scholarly credentials. In particular, the programme examines literatures against their intellectual, historical, social, political, and transcultural contexts.

Mode of Study

Taught exclusively in English, the MALCS is a taught degree based on coursework. Available in full-time (1 year) and part-time (2 years) study modes, the MALCS has been designed for students interested in professions requiring a broad-based knowledge about literary and comparative studies in both local and global contexts.
