An-Najah's Faculty of Graduate Studies has launched a new Master's ‎degree in Comparative Literature. The English Language and Literature ‎Department at the University has taken a leading role in the development ‎of this program, which is convened by Dr. Abdel Karim Daragmeh, ‎Director of An-Najah's Center of Excellence in Learning and Teaching ‎‎(CELT) together with colleagues from the English Department.‎


The MA program is not only the first of its kind to be accredited and ‎offered in ‎Palestine, but only among two MA programs in the Arab ‎world. ‎

The program is designed to give students critical, theoretical and research ‎expertise in the field of comparative literature. Students will be introduced ‎to key, and interesting topics in comparative literature, such as diaspora ‎and exile literature, Arabic and English romanticism, and postmodern ‎theory.‎

The program will equip students with the skills needed to develop their ‎arguments and critical thinking. Future applicants will also have ‎opportunities to hone their research, analytical, and writing skills.‎

They will gain a greater understanding of cultural contexts across ‎different historical periods and cultures. They will also examine ‎interdisciplinary, cross-national approaches to literature and critical ‎theory.‎

A completed master's degree of Comparative Literature at An-Najah ‎University offers students the best conditions for pursuing doctoral ‎studies at the best European and US universities. It also offers the best ‎conditions to join public and private  institutions, and land jobs in ‎prominent universities as academics.‎
