• Academic title
  MLitt Reading European Cultures
• Course description
  It can be seen as an end in itself or as the first step towards a PhD. The research training element will be beneficial regardless of your future plans: time management, study skills, research and presentation (oral and written) skills will all be enhanced significantly and you will benefit from intellectual exchange with a variety of staff and students in an interactive forum.
  
  Content
  
  Two optional courses are included:
  
      * Strand A: Theorising Europe Ð focusing on modern European thought and theories of cultural interpretation
      * Strand B: The idea of Europe Ð which allows a broad-brush approach to developments in literature, philosophy and the arts in European culture(s) since the Middle Ages.
  
  Strand A gives the theoretical background now expected of all research students and Strand B offers the opportunity to delve both broadly and deeply into the cultural legacy of the last 500 years, both in Europe and abroad where European culture has historically exerted a great influence (in particular in the Americas).
  
  Those students who choose to take the latter course will have a subject-specific reading list to complement the seminar, where the works set will be read in translation.
  
  Additionally, a range of optional courses is available in the several programmes currently taught in the School of Modern Languages & Cultures and across the faculty as a whole if you wish to tailor your studies. In this way the programme allows you to concentrate on areas which might lead to further study on the same topic but it also accommodates those who wish to expand their horizons rather than focusing more narrowly.
