Course summary

Are you interested in how modern languages shape our understanding and experiences in the world? Do you have an area or particular topic you want to research? We offer expert supervision in a variety of subjects, allowing you to focus on an area of your choice in your discipline. Once agreed by your main supervisor and co-supervisor, you will work closely with them on your research topic through a series of supervisions that will help you develop your project and build your research skills. As a postgraduate student of modern languages you will become part of a lively research community, and have access to your own dedicated study space shared with other students from related courses. You will be an active participant in our departmental research seminars and special lectures and host your own work in progress seminar. You will also be asked to contribute to the end-of-year Postgraduate Forum with a mini-presentation of your own.

Modules

The heart of the MRes is your thesis. It'll be approximately 25,000 words and counts two thirds (120 credits) towards your degree. You'll agree the subject and focus with your supervisor before you start your degree and it will be marked by both an internal and an external examiner with the possibility of a viva to confirm the award. The remaining one third (60 credits) of your MRes studies is made up from modules you select. They will be agreed with your course leader and are chosen from taught modules at the appropriate level, from the Research Academy Research Training Programme or other university-wide modules. All module choices should support your research topic. Core modules: Mastering the Arts Optional modules: Introduction to Translation Theory Directed Study for Cultures, Languages and Area Studies Tradition of Critique I and II
