Postgraduate research opportunities

Modern Languages research areas cover French, German, Spanish Portuguese and Latin American Studies, Portuguese and Linguistics with particular focus on Film and Television, Linguistics, Literature, Culture, Society, Politics, History, Anthropology and Transnational Studies.
