This is an interdisciplinary new route PhD research programme built on the principle of guided student choice. The wide range of cultural resources we offer enables you not only to study European culture, but to come to understand it as part of a day-to-day experience.
Taught modules (120 credits), which can be spread over two or three years, are chosen from a portfolio divided into two segments: core skills (research and transferable) and subject-specific (thematic).
Before you start you will receive detailed advice from the programme convenor to help you construct a programme that suits your skills and interests. You will be assigned one or more supervisors according to the nature of your topic. Research activity will begin in year 1 and will continue alongside taught modules and guided reading, where appropriate, in the first 2 years of the programme. By the end of year 3, you will be prepared and expected to focus entirely on your research project, culminating in the production of your thesis.
You can also select, with approval of the CELC Programme Convenor, from a range of interdisciplinary and specialist school options in Gender Studies and Translation Studies.
