The School of Modern Languages and Cultures functions as a single unit for research, gathering our eight language areas (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hispanic Studies, Italian, Japanese and Russian) and Translation Studies, working within and across these to enable interdisciplinary investigations. Four areas of particular strength characterise our research activities:

• Medieval and Early Modern Studies
• Digital, Environmental and Medical Humanities
• Translation 
• Visual and Performance Studies

We welcome applications for postgraduate study in the School’s language and research focus areas, especially where there are potential links to relevant Research Institutes and Centres or to our research groups.
