The M.A. in European Studies provides students with the opportunity to
specialize in specific aspects of European culture, be they historical,
cinematic, literary, cultural or interdisciplinary. Having completed
compulsory modules in ‘Research methods’ and an ‘Introduction to
Critical Theory’, students select a pan-European module and a language
specific module from those on offer in any given year. These courses
form the necessary preparation for the short thesis on a topic of
personal interest which completes this M.A. qualification. The
Department of Modern Languages offers research supervision in a variety
of areas and languages (see research profiles) and provides research
opportunities in a personal and vibrant environment. This course is
designed for those wishing to pursue research interests relating to a
European context with a view to a specific career as well as also
potentially functioning as the first year of study for students who
intend to continue their research at Bangor in the shape of a Ph.D.
qualification.
The programme is offered in full-time and part-time mode.
Assessment is by essays, seminar papers and dissertation.
(12 months full time, 24 months part time).
