The Master's programme in English Language and Culture has a linguistics and a literature option. You must choose one option or the other. The linguistics programme concentrates on metaphor studies, and is fed by cutting edge research carried out by members of the research group 'Language, Cognition and Communication', which is part of the Interfaculty research institute CAMeRA (Center for Advanced Media Research Amsterdam). The literature programme is called Literature Visualised and is a unique interdisciplinary specialisation which concentrates on the long-standing relationship between literary works and the visual arts.
The programme for Literature Visualised consists of core courses (40 ec) and a thesis (20 ec). The programme for Metaphor Studies consists of core courses (30 ec), a free choice (10 ec) and a thesis (20 ec).
