MRes Modern Languages and Cultures in Glasgow United Kingdom | University of Glasgow

Our department offers specialized knowledge and guidance in language, culture, sociolinguistics, literature, and history across French, German, Hispanic, Italian, and Slavonic Studies, complemented by a vibrant postgraduate community in Comparative Literature and Translation Studies.
Graduate students can pursue innovative transcultural projects that bridge multiple disciplines. We especially encourage applications aligned with our five research clusters: Visual Culture Partnering with the Stirling Maxwell Centre and leveraging our School's text-image research strengths, this group examines visual culture in literature and arts broadly (including Mexican photography, French architecture and art, or Brazilian cinema). Histories and Subjectivities This cluster unites researchers studying life narratives, autobiography, embodiment, emotions, gender studies, professional cultures, and historical memory. Writing in TransitCultural Translations Combining Comparative Literature, Translation Studies, and cross-cultural research, this cluster investigates transnational writing, migration, (un)translatability, ethics, and global literature. Critical Editions and Translations Working with Special Collections and College of Arts colleagues, this group studies textual cultures through critical editions, book history, and translations. Language and Society (SocioLang) This interdisciplinary cluster fosters dialogue between researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to examine language dynamics, societal change, and multilingual contexts.
