Postgraduate study
The Department of Modern Languages offers a good range of
postgraduate courses and supervision in four individual languages
and cultures, and promotes research across traditional boundaries
into areas of translation studies, comparative literature, cultural
studies, gender studies, Latin America, sociopolitical studies,
medieval studies and language learning.
We have a national and international reputation in the fields of
independent language learning and computer-aided language
learning. Our Language Learning Centre has been the lead site for a
national HEFCE-funded project to disseminate best practices in
language learning provision.
We offer five taught postgraduate programmes:
We also offer a preparatory course to familiarise you with the
skills, methods and language required to work effectively at
post-graduate level. Please note that this course is not just aimed
at graduates wishing to undertake a Masters within the Department
of Modern Languages.
Research Degrees
The department pursues research in film studies, translation studies,
language technology, gender studies, medieval studies and textual
studies. We currently supervise MRes and PhD students in most of
those areas. If you are thinking of submitting a research proposal
