Master Arts, Litteratures, Langages

Tuition comes to 250 EUR per year.

Master Arts, Litteratures, Langages is a master's program offered by École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Aubervilliers, France, with instruction delivered in French. This field brings together the study of the arts, literature, and language, examining how creative and linguistic expression relates to culture, history, and society. Students in this discipline typically engage with literary analysis, art history and theory, linguistics, comparative literature, and critical approaches to visual and performing arts, often working across different national traditions and historical periods. Coursework tends to combine close reading and critical writing with seminars on theoretical and methodological questions in literary and cultural studies. Graduates of programs in this area pursue careers in publishing, cultural institutions, arts administration, journalism and criticism, teaching, and roles within museums, galleries, or cultural foundations. Others continue toward doctoral research aimed at academic careers in literature, art history, or cultural studies. The interdisciplinary character of the field appeals to students with a strong interest in reading, writing, and critical analysis across different artistic and literary forms. This master's degree runs over two years and is expected to begin in September, following the general academic calendar for French universities. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR, consistent with the fee levels of French public institutions. Since courses are taught in French, applicants should have solid French language skills along with a background in literature, languages, or the arts, given the emphasis on close textual and critical analysis throughout the two years of study.
