Crossways in Cultural Narratives is a two-year Masters Course in Comparative Literature, Cultural Anthropology, Textual, Visual and Inter-Media Studies. It prepares graduates for doctoral research
and provides future managers with the knowledge and expertise required of people who are to play key roles in international institutions, national administrations or large media groups. Applicants must be proficient in at least two languages of the Consortium (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish). They are to acquire 40 ECTS credits from three out of eight partner institutions: the Universities of Bergamo (Italy), New Lisbon (Portugal), Perpignan (coordinating organisation, France), Santiago de Compostela (Spain), St Andrews (Scotland), Sheffield (England), Poznan (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland), Guelph (Canada). Mobility choice is left to the applicants themselves, but they are to spend Semesters 2 & 3 in the same University, Semesters 1 & 4 in two different Universities. Non-European students must study in Europe.
