Research programmes (MPhil, PhD)
The Department of French welcomes applications for postgraduate degrees by research.
In addition to research topics focusing on single language areas, we actively encourage interdisciplinary research that cuts across languages or other intellectual disciplines in the Faculty of Arts, including translation (theory or practice). Joint supervision may be provided.
