In the third term students write a 10,000 word supervised dissertation on a topic of their choice. PhD studentships in European Politics and Public Policy Part time and full time postgraduate degrees by research (MPhil and PhD), are available in the School. Attention is paid to providing postgraduate students with the facilities and supervision which the successful completion of postgraduate research requires. Theses on a wide range of literary, language and political themes are currently being completed within the School. Where appropriate, joint supervision is arranged. A series of informal seminars is just one way in which students are encouraged to disseminate and develop their work. Conference attendance is also actively encouraged in order to promote student self-confidence and knowledge of contemporary scholarship and scholars. MScEcon In Western European Labour Studies: studentships This comparative and interdisciplinary course addresses the role and nature of labour in Western European countries by analysing its past struggles, achievements and failures within the context of social history and historically-orientated political science. The department also offers: MA: Literature in European Cultures Full-time: One Year Part-time Two Years (Taught in the evenings) The MA considers the post-war literature of France, Germany, Italy and Spain in a transnational perspective. The course focuses on the study of important literary texts - read in translation - and analyses the relationship of literature to society and culture. It will be divided into four modules. The first module will look at the development of literary theory in the four national cultures. The three remaining modules will address questions of identity, memory and a sense of place. The approach throughout will be to locate texts, whether theoretical or fictional, within a socio-historial framework. Applicants should have a good honours or masters degree from a UK university or equivalent qualifications from abroad.
