Master Lettres — Littératures et arts

Tuition fees for Master Lettres — Littératures et arts are 292 USD per year.

This Master Lettres program at Université Toulouse - Jean Jaurès, in Toulouse Cedex 9, France, offers a Littératures et arts track, meaning literature and the arts. This discipline studies written texts alongside other artistic forms, examining how literature relates to visual art, performance, and other creative media. Typical subjects include literary history and criticism, the analysis of prose, poetry, and drama, and the study of connections between literature and fields such as painting, cinema, theater, or music. Students generally study literary works through close reading and interpretation while also examining how ideas, themes, and aesthetic approaches move between literature and other art forms. Coursework often addresses comparative approaches that place literary texts in dialogue with visual or performing arts, alongside broader questions in cultural and aesthetic theory. Because this track combines literary study with a wider view of the arts, students typically develop skills in critical analysis, cultural interpretation, and written expression that apply across creative and cultural sectors. Graduates commonly pursue careers in publishing, cultural institutions, arts administration, teaching, journalism, and roles requiring strong analytical and communication skills. Some continue toward further research or doctoral study in literature or the arts. This program is taught in French, spans two years, and has a start date in September, with a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Applicants should confirm current entry requirements with the university before applying.
