MA Scholarships in Foreign Literatures

The MA Program in Foreign Literatures in the Department of Foreign Literatures & Linguistics at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev offers a limited number of scholarships for literature students with an average of 85 and above who begin their studies in the program’s thesis track in October 2026. In order to be considered for these scholarships, candidates will have to complete their registration to the program by 30 June.

The MA track in Foreign Literatures, taught entirely in English, offers courses in Anglo-American and Comparative Literature from a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches – including cultural studies, post-colonialism, queer theory, historicism, Jewish studies, and cognitive poetics, among others. Applicants must have completed a BA in English or Comparative Literature by the beginning of the academic year.

Scholarships could range from stipends to smaller grants – all of which will be based on the student's qualifications (pending final budgetary approval).

The Foreign Literatures MA track at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev will hold an open day for candidates on Zoom on Monday, June 2, 17:00-18:00.

The meeting will also include short talks with graduates and MA students from the department, who will talk about their experience of doing an MA and what they are doing today.
