Modern Languages and Cultures

The MA Modern Languages and Cultures has been expertly designed to develop your research skills and interests, while also enhancing your professional skills. Study at the University of Warwick's School of Modern Languages and Cultures and deepen your understanding of core debates and concerns in Hispanic Studies, French and Francophone studies, German studies or Italian studies.

Are you keen to specialise in the academic study of your chosen language and culture, and do you want to develop your professional development and communication skills? Do you have the motivation to develop an individual research path, leading potentially to PhD study?

This course combines taught professionally-oriented modules with research-orientated modules in the culture of your chosen Modern Language, offering an advanced preparation for doctoral research. You will work with the support of internationally leading researchers, drawing on expertise in critical debates in the study of Modern languages and their corresponding cultures, research skills, professional and communication skills, public engagement and key research themes.
