The University of Manchester
School of Languages, Linguistics and CulturesThe School comprises some 85 academic staff, 14 postdoctoral researchers, and 70 language-teaching and administrative staff. We view languages such as English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish less as European Languages than as languages of European origin spoken in many parts of the world, alongside our other languages, including Arabic, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Turkish, Hebrew and Persian. The School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures (SLLC) achieved an outstanding result in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008. Our submissions in Iberian and Latin American Languages and in Russian, Slavonic and East European Languages are top of their national league tables. Each has 30% or more of its research rated as world leading, and 70% or above as 'world leading' or 'internationally excellent'. In 7 of the 8 submissions, at least 50% of our research is rated as 'world leading' or 'internationally excellent'. In over a third of our submissions, the figure is 60% or more. This result places SLLC among the UK's leading Schools of its kind. The School hosts a number of research centres and institutes that promote interdisciplinary collaboration amongst academics. 
Master's Programmes
As a major concentration of high-quality research and teaching in language-based disciplines, we foster a vibrant postgraduate community. We offer a wide range of master's programmes and research opportunities, united by a common interest: the study of languages and their application in linguistics, literature, translation and cultural studies, including screen studies, critical theory, historical, political, and social studies. Our critical mass of staff in numerous areas, our long tradition of interdisciplinary research and teaching, and our healthy expansion make the School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures an ideal place to take a higher degree. Our flexible taught master's programmes cover a range of areas including: Contemporary China, European Languages and Cultures, Latin American Cultural Studies, Linguistics and English Language, Middle Eastern Studies, Translation and Interpreting Studies. PhD/MPhil Programmes
Our research degrees (PhD, MPhil) can be taken in any of the School's disciplines: East Asian Studies, French Studies, German Studies, Italian Studies, Linguistics and English Language, Middle Eastern Studies (including Arab World Studies), Russian and East European Studies, Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies, Translation and Intercultural Studies. We can offer a very wide range of supervision, thanks to the diverse expertise of our academic staff. We also have a strong record of success in joint supervision, where a PhD student works with two supervisors who have complementary specialist fields. Contact us:
