Postgraduate Prospectus

This course has a start date in October 

This course enables well-qualified candidates to pursue postgraduate work in any area of Modern Languages and Critical Theory in which the School is able to offer specialist supervision.

The MA Modern Languages and Critical Theory draws upon the extraordinarily wide range of research expertise in the four language departments of the School in conjunction with the Department of Culture, Film and Media.

It offers you the opportunity to combine the structured framework of a taught MA with the individually-tailored, project-orientated focus of an MA by Research, and will also allow you to work across the cultural area of two languages if you so wish.

This course will appeal to you if you want to pursue Modern Language studies in a sophisticated theoretical context.

Although it is free-standing, it provides excellent preparation for further research by giving a background in theoretical issues and cultural applications, and through practice in independent supervised research leading to the production of a dissertation.
