Course Overview
Offered by UCL (University College London), the BA (Hons) Comparative Literature with a Year Abroad provides a comprehensive undergraduate education in languages and area studies. Based in London, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 4-year full-time structure. This four-year degree offers the same advantages as the Comparative Literature BA, focusing on European languages and with the added attraction of a year spent abroad in a European country, combining comparative critical enquiry with a more in-depth study of one modern language and its literature and culture. International tuition fees are £29,800 per year, home/UK fees are £9,535 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 7.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 82% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £31,000 within three years, a 95% continuation rate, and 73% of graduates in employment or further study.
