Location of University of Birmingham
Research in French Studies at Birmingham holds an international reputation. Ranging from the medieval to the contemporary period - focusing on the 18th century and after, with the preponderance in the 20th century - our broad base of specialist excellence has allowed us to develop our distinctive Cultural Studies orientations and expertise in cross-disciplinary and comparative research. Some of our research interests are listed below.
Research is pursued in its broadest social and intellectual context, and you develop your research project within an active and friendly postgraduate community. You will be invited to deliver work-in-progress presentations at the departmental research seminar and School postgraduate forum. Since we are particularly interested in inter-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary work, it is possible to arrange joint supervision involving staff from other departments, giving you access to a broader knowledge base.
