Romance Studies

Students of Romance Studies at the University of Bayreuth can expect an international, intercultural, and interdisciplinary study experience. At the heart of the curriculum is the diversity of the French language, literature, and culture in Francophone Countries, therefore encompassing not only France, but also America, Africa, and the Caribbean.

The "Chair of Romance Literary Studies and Comparative Literature with Special Reference to Africa" ("Lehrstuhl für Romanische Literaturwissenschaft und Komparatistik unter besonderer Berücksichtigung Afrikas") focuses on literatures in French from Africa (including Maghreb and the Indian Ocean), the Caribbean and North American writers and its various interconnections regional and intermedial interconnections. Seminars are often linked with practical work in cultural events and management. In addition, the research extends to comparative approaches linking the French speaking regions with thematic fields in Spanish or Portuguese regions in African and Latin American cultural areas.
