Language is central to our human nature, and languages are fundamental to our society and culture. The Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages is home to world-class scholarship across a wide range of language-related research areas. These include the phenomenon of human language itself, individual European languages and language families, and the literatures, art forms, film, history, and cultures associated with those languages both today and in the past.
The Faculty fosters the development of innovative projects by the individual researchers who comprise it, while at the same time facilitating productive collaboration across languages, research paradigms, and disciplines.

The Faculty's Research Strategy Committee oversees research in the Faculty and offers advice and support especially to those applying for external research funding, as well as monitoring research progress and outcomes.
