Course description
Our MA Modern Languages and Cultures course will prepare you for further research in constituent disciplines, but it is also relevant if you wish to broaden and deepen your critical engagement with a wide range of languages and cultures.
The structure of the MA is flexible, which means that you can choose to combine your interests in different languages or cultures, or focus more exclusively on one particular area. Modern Languages at The University of Manchester is a thriving environment, with its vibrant research culture, University Language Centre facilities, its close links to a wide range of cultural partners across the city and its access to the world-class John Rylands Research Institute.
Our range of exciting units are chronologically or geographically specific, but all course units are informed by recent theoretical and historical developments that allow you to think about categories like 'language' and 'culture' in nuanced and fresh ways.
Teaching and learning
You will learn through a variety of teaching methods depending on the units you take, including seminars, lectures and e-learning.
Coursework and assessment
You will be assessed via a range of methods depending on the units you take, including written assignments, exams and oral presentations.
Career opportunities
Our alumni have gone on to pursue successful careers in the arts and cultural sectors, and beyond, in professions including marketing, journalism, publishing, business, politics, finance and education.
The MA provides a thorough training in the expertise needed for further research, and many graduates have gone on to postgraduate research degrees and careers within academia.
These skills in research design and planning are transferable to jobs across a wide range of sectors, as well as being a vital first step to PhD.
