"I would definitely recommend the MPhil course as a first step towards a research degree. Very good teaching and the opportunity to explore new ideas have given me much more confidence in my abilities, and the training in writing and research skills has been invaluable."
Joanna (Oxford), MPhil 1999
Introduction
The Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages at Cambridge is a large but closely-knit multi-departmental Faculty, offering teaching and research facilities in French, Occitan, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, Medieval Latin, German, Dutch, Slavonic, Modern Greek, and Linguistics, among other areas. For Linguistics, there is a separate MPhil, and interested students should see the MPhil in Linguistics website. A wide range of expertise is available within the Faculty for supervising research: see the list of contributors on page 18 of this prospectus. The Modern and Medieval Languages Faculty Library has a very good collection of literary and critical texts, and the University Library is a research library of international renown. Most volumes are on open access and available for borrowing. There is also a Language Centre which services the entire University, and which houses an extensive collection of European and World Cinema on video tape. The Faculty has a Graduate Centre with study and social areas. The facilities include extensive IT, printing, and copying resources, tv, video and dvd. The Centre is the venue for the Graduate Training Programme. This prospectus describes the one-year MPhil course in European Literature & Culture offered by the Cambridge University Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages. The course provides the opportunity to make a self-contained, in-depth study of specific aspects of European Literature and Critical Theory, and to write a short thesis on a topic of personal interest, but it is also designed to serve as the first year of study for students who intend to continue with research at Cambridge for a Ph.D. in any area of European literature. All students wishing to undertake research in the field of European literature and culture should consider applying for the MPhil in the first instance. Full information on all postgraduate studies at Cambridge, including the Ph.D., is published in the University's Graduate Studies Prospectus, available from the Board of Graduate Studies, 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge CB2 1RZ, or for download at: Board of Graduate Studies: How to Apply. next |The College System
