At Birmingham, French Studies research investigates how language, discourse, and cultural analysis transform our perception and engagement with the world.

Our world-class French Studies research spans from the Renaissance era to modern times, with particular emphasis on the 20th and 21st centuries.

As part of the Department of Modern Languages, French Studies benefits from an active postgraduate network and comprehensive support for research students.

We provide two dedicated research programs at postgraduate level - whether you aim to earn a PhD or conduct Masters-level research. Discover more about our PhD and MA by Research opportunities.
