PhD Modern Languages & Cultures at Durham University

[email protected]


The School of Modern Languages & Cultures is a great place to undertake your postgraduate research. We presently have over 40 research students, from the UK, mainland Europe and around the globe, carrying out PhD or MA work on topics as diverse as Translation, Literature, Theatre, Cinema and Photography and participating in a variety of postgraduate activities, including dialogue days and research seminars. We welcome applications for students wishing to study for a PhD, or to undertake an MA by Research.


As an MLAC research student you will be invited to participate in dedicated postgraduate research seminars where you can discuss your work and share your experiences with other students. Moreover you will have the opportunity to attend staff seminars and lectures by major figures in modern language research.


Language Support


If English is not your first language there is excellent language support available, provided by our English Language Centre.


The School of Modern Languages & Cultures functions as a single unit for research, gathering our eight language areas (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hispanic Studies, Italian, Japanese and Russian) and Translation Studies, working within and across these to enable interdisciplinary investigations. Four areas of particular strength characterise our research activities:


  • Medieval & Early Modern Studies
  • Digital, Environmental & Medical Humanities
  • Translation
  • Visual & Performance Studies


We welcome applications for postgraduate study in the School’s Language & Research Focus Areas, especially where there are potential links to relevant Research Institutes and Centres or to our Research Groups.


The opportunities open to those completing a PhD are wide and varied. Some remain within the Higher Education sector, either pursuing an academic career or in university administration, while others will use their specialist knowledge or generic skills gained from the PhD to have successful careers in other fields.
