Our alumni interviews show how diverse and varied the careers of graduates of comparative literature can be. We ask questions about their current jobs, find out to what extent their program of study helped them in their career choice, and what key skills they were taught during their studies. We would like to offer an insight into the diverse and exciting job opportunities open to students of comparative literature.

In both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees, one of the main focuses of the program of study is on teaching work-related skills.
