A range of seminar options are offered, for example on Rabelais, Montaigne, Baudelaire, Proust and Perec, to name a few. Courses are offered on issues in French cultural and linguistic politics and on interdisciplinary issues like plurilingualism, where the study of literature and linguistics comes together.

During your master's you must choose four courses and complete an MA thesis. Two courses of your choice must be taken from French Literature and Culture. For your third course you can choose any course offered from French Literature and Culture or any course offered within the MA Literary Studies.

For your fourth course you have a great deal of flexibility. You can take any course offered from French Literature and Culture, any course within the MA Literary Studies, a course on a literary subject from another MA, a course offered within the MA French Language and Linguistics, or a course offered via Masterlanguage.

Thomas van Houwelingen

Thomas van Houwelingen - Student Testimonial French Literature and Culture Leiden University

What always appealed to me about this specialisation is the total immersion that we experienced in the French language, a writer's oeuvre or a certain era. I was constantly challenged to dive deeper into a specific aspect of this: within the framework of the course, I enjoyed great freedom.

Attention to context
My teachers always give attention to the social and historical context of the literary works, which ensures that the teaching is never too theoretical or isolated. Because of their enthusiasm when teaching us about the areas that interest them, I was also inspired to give 100%...

I studied and completed every course in the specialisation French Literature and Culture of the master's programme Literary Studies with great pleasure.
