The M.Phil. Programme requires two years of full-time study, and starts in the autumn term. During the first year you take courses in language and linguistics. In the first year students may choose from the courses offered at the Department of Modern Foreign Languages or from courses offered by the Department of Language and Communication Studies, and approved by the Department of Modern Foreign Languages. A course introducing academic theory and method, ENG3001, prepares you for your work with your Master’s thesis.
