The Section of Slavonic Studies very much welcomes MPhil candidates. Three one-year MPhil programmes are offered in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages:

• The MPhil in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics
• The MPhil in Film and Screen Studies
• The MPhil in European, Latin American and Comparative Literature and Cultures (ELAC).

The Department of Slavonic Studies offers an exciting curricular pathway in Slavonic Studies within the framework of the MPhil in European, Latin American and Comparative Literature and Cultures at the University of Cambridge. This interdisciplinary degree offers advanced training for students with a deep interest in the literatures and cultures of Poland, Russia and/or Ukraine as well as a solid foundation for future doctoral study.

Pathway structure

Core Course (Michaelmas Term)

Students will attend the Core Course lectures and mini-seminars offered within the ELAC MPhil programme. In most years at least one of the mini-seminars offered in conjunction with the Core Course will address topics and/or materials with particular relevance to Russia and/or Eastern Europe (i.e. Bakhtin, Formalism, Post-Socialist Identities, Semiotics). This mini-seminar will be open to all MPhil students, but it is particularly recommended for students following the REES pathway, who are also encouraged to write their core course essay on a topic related to Russian and/or East European Studies.  

Modules (Lent Term)

Students will select two modules in the Lent term, from the list available here.
