Research in Modern Languages and Cultures (MLC) contributed fully to QMULs strong performance in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (the latest in the series of national evaluations of research in UK universities), as part of Modern Languages and Linguistics (UoA 28B: 3.04 GPA score).
We also have strong connections with external research centres, groups and institutions, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Leo Baeck Institute, the Ramon Llull Institut (Catalan Studies), the Camões Institute for Cooperation and Language, and the University of Londons Institute of Modern Languages Research.
Many of the research staff in MLC have held leadership roles in professional organizations associations, notably Professor Adrian Armstrongs role as President of the Association of University Professors and Heads of French (2014-17). MLC also benefits from the active involvement of a number of associated scholars, including Honorary and Visiting Research Fellows.
For entry at PhD level, we would normally expect candidates to have an MA or equivalent. Modern Languages and Cultures accepts students for a research degree leading to a PhD of the University of London. Applicants for this degree are accepted on the basis of previous academic performance and subject to the availability of a member of staff to supervise their work. We welcome applications from home and overseas students. All prospective students are advised to consult a potential supervisor with a draft research proposal before submitting a formal application. You should also include a relevant piece of written work showing your potential for carrying out high-level research in your subject area (preferably a final-year undergraduate or MA dissertation), with your application.
