MPhil in Cultural, Literary and Postcolonial Studies in Camden United Kingdom | School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London

The SOAS Centre for Cultural, Literary and Postcolonial Studies (CCLPS) invites MPhil/PhD candidates to pursue research in Comparative Literature, Cultural Studies, and Postcolonial Studies. The Centre offers its own specialized MPhil training program, allowing students to register directly with the Centre rather than through specific regional or disciplinary departments. Focusing on developing critical theoretical skills alongside deep regional, linguistic, and cultural expertise—particularly concerning Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, as well as European-language literatures—the Centre provides a distinctive academic environment. Students can explore an exceptionally broad spectrum of theoretical and critical topics, with supervision from diverse faculty members across SOAS. Typically, research degrees in these fields take three years to complete, extendable to four years if fieldwork or material collection is necessary. Part-time study options are also available.
