The MPhil in European Literature and Culture
If you do not yet have a Master's Degree, the MPhil in European Literature and Culture, organised by the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages, could provide the ideal starting-point for your graduate work. The one-year course, examined by essays and a dissertation, consists of a core unit in critical theory and a choice of modules from various language areas. The Department of German and Dutch participates fully in the programme and currently offers three modules, two in literature and one in thought. Details of modules. Academic queries about the MPhil in European Literature and Culture should be directed to the Course Director for the M.Phil, see MPhil contacts.The MPhil in Linguistics: The Germanic Pathway
The MPhil in Linguistics, organised by the Faculty's Department of Linguistics, caters both for students who want a course in linguistics generally, and for those who wish to specialise in the linguistics of certain language areas. All students are required to follow courses in 'Research Methods' and 'Linguistic Theory'. Beyond that, each student follows his or her own 'Study Plan', which allows the individual interests, needs, and strengths of the student to be met. This includes the possibility of specialising in specific language areas by choosing a 'pathway' in Celtic, Germanic, Romance or Slavonic languages. Students who choose a language-specific pathway write at least one of the long essays and the MPhil thesis on a topic which is clearly within the language area chosen. Further details. The Department's adviser on the Germanic pathway in the MPhil in Linguistics is Dr Sheila Watts (Newnham College, network telephone 35816, e-mail sw271@cam.ac.uk).
