Applying for the MPhil in European Literature & Culture
Course code MLM1
The course is designed to appeal to students whose undergraduate studies have given them insight into some aspects of European literature and culture, but who now wish to develop interests in greater depth, and explore their theoretical foundations and implications. Applicants will normally be expected to have a First Class or a high 2.1 B.A. Honours degree (or the equivalent) in a modern European language (other than English) related to at least one of the areas of study of the M.Phil., although applicants with good degrees in other subjects will be considered on their merits, as long as they have a high level of knowledge and fluency in at least one of the relevant foreign language areas. Applicants have to submit an extended essay (c. 2-4000 words), in English, on a topic relevant to the areas covered by the course, and complete this research proposal. Teaching for the MPhil. is not restricted to comparative studies, nor do applicants have to be proficient in more than one foreign language; they will, however, be able to work in more than one language area should they wish and they should be willing to consider the interdisciplinary implications of their chosen fields of study. No formal linguistic instruction is offered, but students may use the Faculty's Computer-Assisted Language Learning facility and the extensive audio-visual resources of the University Language Centre for self-instruction and improvement in any language. Students may also attend any University lectures they wish, whether offered by Modern and Medieval Languages or any other Faculty.
