This unique MA offers graduates the opportunity to study Modern Languages at postgraduate level in order to prepare either for a career as a language professional in intercultural fields (such as translation, language administration, or teaching languages), or for postgraduate research in modern languages, MFL linguistics, or translation studies. The programme combines a focus on intercultural studies with a cross-disciplinary approach to Modern Languages. ‘Intercultural' is understood broadly, as sharing knowledge across different cultures in a world characterised by globalization and internationalization. The MA revolves around the core module ‘Research Skills in Modern Languages and Intercultural Studies', from which students branch out according to their interests. Students may choose to extend their language competence by studying a European language at advanced level or taking up a new European or non-European language. Alternatively, or in addition, students may choose to extend their intercultural understanding by studying comparative linguistics, comparative literature or translation theory. In their dissertation students may wish to specialize in the history, the visual arts, or the literature of relevant countries from the pre-modern period to the present day, or they may choose to focus on advanced linguistics or an aspect of translation studies.
