[Europe] Cultures Littéraires Européennes (CLE) Scholarships at Erasmus Mundus

[Europe] Cultures Littéraires Européennes (CLE) Scholarships at Erasmus Mundus
Overview
The CLE Masters Course in European Literary Cultures aims at preparing European and International graduates for professions in which is requested the knowledge of: 1) at least three languages; 2) the different methodologies in at least three cultural fields as for example History of Literature, Texts Analysis, History, History of Art, History of Ideas.

The main objective of the Masters Course is to train a cultural operator / a researcher / a teacher to have a good range of methodologies and a high cultural appreciation of the different contexts of European culture which enable a comparison with other cultures. The main characteristic of this profile is the combination of the historical-linguistic skills, also at an advanced level, and a high knowledge of other disciplines. These profiles are characterized by the continual application of the linguistic and cultural skills within an analytical and critical perspective.

The CLE master program in European literary cultures offers education in at least three European cultural and linguistic domains spanning a large area of thought from literature to history through the language sciences.

Participating universities :

The consortium offering this Masters programme is made up of:

* The University of Bologna (Italy)
* The University of Haute-Alsace (Mulhouse-France)
* The University of Strasbourg (France)
