European Studies is an interdisciplinary programme which considers Europe in terms of its politics, history, literature, film, culture and thought. As part of the Centre for Multidisciplinary and Intercultural Inquiry, it draws on the expertise of members of staff in the Faculties of Arts and Humanities, Social and Historical Sciences, and the School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies (SSEES). Students can specialise in any area of European Studies for which there is a suitable supervisor. We have a high level of expertise in the fields of modern European history, thought, literature, and film. In the first instance, candidates should establish a dialogue with a potential supervisor before making a formal application. Supervision and mentorship is available from world-leading researchers with international and national contacts and collaborations across policy, government, cultural institutions, academia and industry. Training programmes are designed on an individual basis by the student's supervisor and generally involve participation in activities offered by the department of the primary supervisor. You will participate in a mandatory skills seminar programme in CMII and also attend departmental seminar sessions which may be subject specific or interdisciplinary. Regular research seminars are also run by individual PhD courses and research centres, such as Gender and Sexuality Studies, Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American Studies, Health Humanities, French and Francophone Studies, Translation Studies, Film Studies, and Comparative Literature. All students are welcome to attend relevant sessions, offering opportunities for cross-fertilisation of ideas. This MPhil/PhD is for applicants with a strong interest in conducting multi-disciplinary research, who may have completed post-graduate training or study and want to develop an advanced critical analysis in a specific research area. The course is for applicants with a background or interest in modern European history, politics, literature, and relevant disciplines. It is suitable for both recent Masters graduates as well as early or mid-career professionals.
