A PhD (Doctorate) typically spans three years, culminating in a thesis of up to 80,000 words and an oral defense. Modern Languages PhD candidates usually engage in the School's training program during their initial two years, along with teaching observation exercises. These activities help refine teaching abilities, boost career prospects, and prepare students for academic careers.
Mastering foreign languages and cultural understanding forms a cornerstone of our interconnected world. University-level language studies enable deeper engagement with people, traditions, and histories through their native tongues. This discipline also allows for broader contextualization of one's own linguistic and cultural background. The School of Modern Languages brings together specialists across seven languages and Comparative Literature, with research spanning medieval to contemporary studies on diverse themes.
