Program Overview

About our programmes

We offer postgraduate supervision in four European Languages and cultures - French, German, Italian and Hispanic studies - as well as Chinese Studies. Our research activity crosses traditional boundaries into areas of translation studies, comparative literature, cultural studies, gender studies, social, economic and political studies, Latin America, language learning and linguistics. We offer unique opportunities for research supervision in a wide variety of subjects at both MA by Thesis and PhD level.

There are eight main teaching rooms, all equipped with a full suite of PCs, AV systems, projectors, DVD-players and a visualiser. Several have interactive whiteboards. One of the rooms functions as an interpreting suite, with nine interpreter booths. As well as this, our Shoosmith Language Learning Centre offers specialist learning facilities including IT services with the latest language learning and translation software.
