The Literature degree program prepares students to manage the diverse activities of the contemporary cultural industry surrounding texts.
The Literature degree program at the University of the Arts is conceived as a contemporary and dynamic academic space within the field of Ecuadorian and Latin American letters. Its purpose is to train researchers, editors, creators, and critics capable of contributing to current debates through the production, critical reflection, and management of the multiple forms of the written and spoken word. Within this framework, the program recognizes not only Western literary traditions, but also writings and oral traditions rooted in ancestral languages, as well as those emerging from the cultural and aesthetic transformations of the present.
Graduates of the School of Literature at the University of the Arts will possess, in addition to the knowledge and skills inherent to their degree program, a broad understanding of other artistic disciplines. As a result, they will be prepared to enter the labor market by leading creative projects; carrying out cultural management, reading mediation, and content creation for diverse communication platforms. They will also find opportunities in educational and research institutions, libraries, museums, regional and international organizations, NGOs, foundations, cultural centers, and the publishing sector. Their broad, intercultural perspective will seek to foster social awareness and sensitivity.
The School of Literature draws on a faculty of writers with distinguished artistic and academic careers, alongside editors and researchers holding master's and PhD degrees. Their areas of interest include Ecuadorian and Latin American literature; comparative studies; the registers of fantastic imagination; linguistic experimentation and gender theory; semiotics and cultural studies; oral expression and ancestral knowledge; intercultural bilingual education, among other worldviews within the sphere of multiculturalism; as well as poetry, related forms of writing, and the exploration of language, approached from multiple contemporary perspectives.

El Plan de Movilidad Nacional permite estancias temporales de estudio en otras universidades. La UArtes inició el intercambio académico con la Espol en el 2022-B y actualmente lo realiza también con la Universidad Católica, Casa Grande y Universidad del Río. Con la secretaria académica, Verónica Orellana, ampliamos el tema y conocimos la experiencia de una alumna que ha cursado materias en tres de las IES señaladas.
